Hazardous Areas Attachment The Minutes item from the SAF-AAC Correlating Committee s November 6, 2012 meeting follows: Hazardous Materials. Jeff Tubbs raised the issue of whether NFPA 101 should address hazardous materials (as done in NFPA 5000 Chapter 34). The committee noted that health hazards are not within the scope of NFPA 101. Conflicts exist among the NFPA codes. It was agreed to: o Add the subject of hazardous materials to the agenda for all NFPA 101 technical committee Second Draft meetings o Gather comments from each technical committee including whether it wants to participate in a task group on the subject of hazardous materials o Report results to the Correlating Committee at its Second Draft review meeting o Ask the Standards Council, after the Correlating Committee s Second Draft meeting, to establish a task group from the membership of the NFPA 1, 30, 101, 400 and 5000 committees to address conflicts and overlapping requirements related to hazardous materials Page 12 of 13
Cote, Ron From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Cote, Ron Wednesday, November 21, 2012 2:33 PM Bigda, Kristin; Harrington, Greg; Fraser, Allan; Vecchiarelli, Tracy Solomon, Robert SAF Agenda Item for Second Draft Meetings Please add the subject of Definitions to each SAF/BLD technical committee Second Draft meeting agenda for which you serve as staff liaison. Each Technical Committee chair is asked to identify a member to serve on the definitions task group. The Minutes item from the SAF-AAC Correlating Committee s November 6, 2012 meeting follows: Definitions. The committee agreed to have each defined term assigned to a specific technical committee so that committee would have responsibility for the maintenance and revision of such term. A task group is to be formed after the Second Draft meetings of the current revision cycle. The task group will report to the Correlating Committee (CC) its recommendations for the definitions assignments in time for the CC to review the recommendations at its first meeting of the 2018 revision cycle. Each Technical Committee chair is asked to identify a member to serve on the task group. Allan and Tracy, the BLD-AAC Correlating Committee asked that same be done by the NFPA 5000 TCs.
