Esteemed Collegues:
Can anyone give guidance on a Pesticides Storage warehouse and the
approriate fire protection requirements?
NFPA-434 doesn't give prescriptove requiremetns or a definitive path
to follow. It only indicates a risk analysis be done by a "competent
individual" (I read PE or FPE) to determine the extent and type of
fire protection to be provide.
Without regard to storage arrangement and heights, what TYPE of
commodity would be appropriate to consider, since the amount stored
is over 10,000 lbs and is extermely varied in the types and
configurations of products to be stored?
I am leaning towards NFPA-30 "Flammable and Combustible Liquids" to
begin my analysis, but would like the opinions of anyone who has had
experience with this process.
Thanks in advance,
