Description
NFPA 99 was “returned to committee” during last year’s NFPA Annual Meeting. The document is being worked on by all of the Technical Committees that make up the project. While many of the same issues are still in the forefront of the 2012 edition debate, there are additional proposals that need to be highlighted and discussed by the ASHE membership. This session will enable you to—
• Discuss the “controversial” issues being proposed in NFPA 99.
• Describe the ASHE positions on these new requirements.
