Access the latest requirements for minimizing fire risks and safeguarding personnel in mines and metal mineral processing facilities. NFPAĀ® 122, Standard for Fire Prevention and Control in Metal/Nonmetal Mining and Metal Mineral Processing Facilities, addresses the protection of diesel-powered equipment and storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids at these specialized sites. The updated 2023 edition reflects the most current industry knowledge and practices. Important changes include: Addition of a new Chapter 14, Conveyors, which includes requirements for conveyors to align with NFPA 120, Standard for Fire Prevention and Control in Coal Mines New Chapter 15, Ventilation in Underground Mines, which includes safety requirements for ventilation to reduce combustible gas concentrations and align with NFPA 120 Added Chapter 16, Emergency Preparedness and Response, which includes requirements for emergency preparedness and response plans Revisions made to reorganize and update the requirements in Chapter 13, including new annex material added to strengthen fire protection guidance that relies heavily on risk assessments Changes throughout the document to the terms flammable and combustible liquid to align with the ignitible (flammable and combustible) liquid terminology updated in NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code
