NFPA

NFPA, or the National Fire Protection Association, is an organization that develops and maintains safety standards and codes to prevent fires and protect people and property. They create guidelines for fire prevention, building safety, electrical safety, and hazardous materials management. A well-known tool they use is the NFPA diamond, a color-coded symbol that quickly indicates the fire hazard, health risk, reactivity, and specific precautions for chemicals. These standards help ensure safety in homes, workplaces, and communities by providing clear, consistent guidance for preventing fires and responding effectively if they occur.
