NFPA 72 Compliant Fire & Gas Monitoring System
By Frank Dagerman, Director - System Sales

Our new NFPA-72 compliant HazardWatchô Integrated Fire & Gas Detection System sets a new industry standard for highly intelligent safety monitoring solutions. Its design helps process and plant engineers protect their operations, equipment and staff from fire and combustible gases while meeting the worldís most demanding safety standards.

There are many hazardous industries where the presence of combustible, flammable and toxic gases and vapors is an every-day potential threat to people and equipment. These types of facilities, with their mission-critical operating environment, require advanced safety monitoring systems that provide hazard detection and mitigation with both high reliability and high availability.

To help prevent accidents, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) developed its NFPA 72 standard, which is an ANSI approved document. It sets standards for fire alarm components and systems, including initiation devices like smoke and flame detectors, audible and visible alarms and monitoring systems. This standard covers systems design, equipment application, installation, location, performance and maintenance.
