From the buildings we live and work in, to the electrical systems that power them, and even the protocols first responders follow in emergencies, National Fire Protection Association codes and standards impact nearly every aspect of modern life. And what's especially astounding about the NFPA's impact is that they've been doing this work since 1896, as a self-funded non-profit, fueled heavily by volunteers. With October being National Fire Prevention Month, NFPA Regional Director Meredith Hawes joins Ozinga Health & Safety VP Adam Pummer today to address how tragic accidents lead to standards and coding, and what you can do locally to harness the NFPA's mission of safety. Full video of this conversation is watchable at ozinga.com/podcasts.
