NFPA 1561: Standard on Emergency Services Incident Management System Depending upon type of incident, there may be specific requirements for ICS, including: NFPA 471: Recommended Practice for Responding to Hazardous Materials Incidents NFPA 475: Recommended Practice for Responding to Hazardous Materials Incidents/Weapons of Mass Destruction NFPA 1143: Standard for Wildland Fire Management Referenced staff qualifications are found in NFPA 1026: Standard for Incident Management Personnel Professional Qualifications or other standards for staff qualifications for specific types of incidents.
NFPA 444 outlines key safety measures for handling hazardous materials, including proper training for personnel, use of personal protective equipment, implementing emergency response plans, and conducting regular inspections and maintenance of equipment.
Yes, plumbers working on fire suppression systems need to follow NFPA 25 as well as any other applicable NFPA and local standards (e.g., NFPA 13 for sprinkler systems, NFPA 14 for standpipes, NFPA 54 Fuel Gas Code, etc). Specialized plumbers also deal with specific standards for hazardous materials piping, according to the types of materials and the types of facilities in which they're found.
Cyclohexane does not have a specific NFPA diamond classification since it is not considered a hazardous material under the NFPA 704 standard.

The flammable sign was standardized by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the late 1940s. The NFPA developed a system of labeling flammable materials with a red diamond symbol to alert people to the fire hazard.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) uses the color red to indicate flammability in its labeling system. Similarly, the Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS) developed by the National Paint and Coatings Association also uses red to represent flammability hazards. Both systems employ a numerical scale to rate the degree of flammability, with higher numbers indicating greater risk.
The number 4 on the NFPA 704 placard indicates the highest hazard in any of the three categories (health, fire, reactivity).
The NFPA 704 diamond is a ring of smaller diamonds that are blue, red, yellow and white. A number or symbol in each section indicates the relative danger.
The NPFA mark is used for materials that can ignite.
There are two unrelated hazard classification systems that have categories called "Class 2 Division 2" One is the NFPA system for designating explosive environments. The other is the DOT system for classifying materials that are hazardous in transportation. In the NFPA system for explosive environments, Class 2 locations are hazardous because of the presence of combustible (explosive) dust. Class 2, Division 2 locations are places in which combustible dusts will not normally be in suspension in the air, or will not be likely to be thrown into suspension by the normal operation of equipment or apparatus, in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures, but where accumulations of dust may be sufficient to interfere with the safe dissipation of heat from electrical equipment or apparatus, or where accumulations of dust on, in, or in the vicinity of electrical equipment might be ignited by arcs, sparks, or burning material from such equipment In the DOT system for hazardous materials in transportation, Class 2 is for compressed and poisonous gases. Class 2, Division 2 (also called Division 2.2 ) is for non-flammable compressed gases.
