Description

Reduce fire risks for incinerators and waste handling systems with the 2009 NFPA 82!

Rely on NFPA 82: Standard on Incinerators and Waste and Linen Handling Systems and Equipment for the fire-safe installation and use of waste storage rooms; containers; incinerators; compactors; and waste, linen, and laundry handling systems.

Among the changes in the 2009 edition of NFPA 82 that improve safety are:

• The scope of the standard now includes requirements for maintenance.
• New definitions of Gravity Chute intake door, pneumatic chute loading door, general access chute, and limited access chute
• Chapter 8 has been retitled Waste and Recyclables Storage Rooms.
• Requirements have also been revised in Chapter 8 to include the term recyclables due to the emphasis of recycling and LEED/green buildings.
• A new Chapter 10 has been established on Maintenance of Incinerators and Waste and Linen Handling Systems and Equipment.

This important document is a must for facility owners and managers, waste and linen chute manufacturers and designers, insurers, and AHJs.
