Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Recorded live from the NFPA Conference & Expo in Las Vegas, this episode of The K-Factor Podcast features Shawn Mahoney, Senior Engineer, Technical Services at the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
If you work in commercial construction, fire protection, or jobsite safety, this conversation is for you.
Shawn explains why NFPA 241, Standard for Safeguarding Construction, Alteration, and Demolition Operations, is one of the most important standards affecting construction projects today. We discuss fire protection during construction, temporary fire safety measures, and practical ways contractors can reduce risk on active jobsites.
We also take a behind-the-scenes look at the NFPA codes and standards development process, exploring how industry experts collaborate to develop the standards that shape construction and fire protection across North America.
Whether you're a general contractor, fire sprinkler contractor, construction manager, engineer, safety professional, or AHJ, you'll come away with a better understanding of how fire safety standards are created—and why they matter long before a building is occupied.
