NFPA 122, Standard for Fire Prevention and Control in Metal/Nonmetal Mining and Metal Mineral Processing Facilities. The methods cover fire detection and suppression systems, equipment safety, and emergency response procedures to reduce the consequences of mine and processing plant fires. By mandating maintenance of fire suppression devices and training employees on how to handle fire safety protocols, the standard minimizes hazards and protects the workforce, property and the environment. NFPA 122 is critical for controlling these hazards in high-risk mining environments.
