passed and a first draft meeting must be held by June 2013.

5. Public Inputs Received for NFPA 600 (30) and NFPA 601 (none). Nancy explained that the committee

could make document revisions during the first draft meeting but that no new material could be introduced into

the second draft meeting. The second draft meeting will allow the committee to modify those sections of the

document that had been changed in the first draft based on committee input and public comments to the first draft

changes. Nancy explained that since no public inputs were made to 601, that the committee would have to make

those changes in the meeting. Nancy explained that a full presentation of the process would be given at the first

draft meeting.

Chapters were revised in accordance with the manual of style, terms were changed (employee to worker, emergency to incident) and a new chapter was added to conform with manual of style. The recommended revisions for the changes in chapters 1 and 3 were submitted as public inputs. Chapter 2 will be updated by NFPA staff, Chapters 4 and 5 will be submitted as first revisions.

• Task Group Chapter 5-Incipient Fires- James Jaracz. James was not on the conference call.

8. Formation of Additional Task Groups. No additional task groups were formed at this time.

Public Input No. 2-NFPA 600-2012 [ Section No. 1.1.1 ]

1.1.1 This standard contains minimum requirements for organizing, operating, training, and equipping industrial fire brigades. It also contains describes techniques for securing effective response to fires in industrial, commercial, institutional, and similar properties.

1.1.2This standard provides minimum requirements for the occupational safety and health of industrial fire brigade members while performing fire fighting

firefighting and related response activities.

Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Input

The new language for 1.1.1 comes from the official Committee Scope, "This Committee shall have primary responsibility for documents on fire brigades, guard services, and techniques for securing effective fire loss prevention programs in industrial, commercial, institutional, and similar properties." The intent of this public input is to show directly that response to fire loss is covered by this standard and not just the decision to provide a fire brigade.

The standard currently applies to industrial, commercial, institutional, and similar properties (see definition of industrial occupancy in 3.3.18).

Also comply with MOS, 1.8.1 Subdivisions. All subdivisions shall contain at least two subdivisions (i.e., 3.1, 3.2 or 4.1.1, 4.1.2) and 1.8.4 Paragraphs and Subparagraphs. Multiple requirements within subsections shall be treated as separate paragraphs and subparagraphs, which shall be permitted to be further broken down into sub-subparagraphs.

A.1.1 3 .3 2 It is the intent that industrial fire brigade members, who are trained and qualified under the guidance of this standard respond to familiar hazards that are common to the industrial facility being protected.

Industrial fire brigades complying with the requirements of this standard should be permitted to respond to fires outside the boundaries of the industrial facility only when the industrial fire brigade is trained and familiar with the hazards associated with the fire. For example, an industrial fire brigade having appropriate training in accordance with this standard can respond to a fire involving an enclosed structure outside the boundaries of the industrial facility, if such response was anticipated and preplanned by industrial fire brigade management. Each industrial fire brigade member should be familiar with the layout and contents of the structure and should be provided with the opportunity to tour the structure at least quarterly.
