NFPA 1971 protects fire fighting personnel by establishing minimum levels of protection from thermal, physical, environmental, and bloodborne pathogen hazards encountered during structural and proximity fire fighting operations.
NOTE: Due to the COVID-19 coronavirus and NFPA’s efforts to safeguard our attendees at NFPA meetings, the upcoming pre-First Draft meeting is being held as a telephone/web conference (see Next Edition tab for details) on March 31, 2020. NFPA extends sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding and continued interest in the development of NFPA Standards.
