Which NFPA standard focuses on fire protection for laboratories using chemicals?

NFPA 55
NFPA 45
NFPA 91
NFPA 96

The correct answer is: NFPA 45

The NFPA standard that specifically addresses fire protection in laboratories working with chemicals is NFPA 45. This standard provides guidelines to ensure the safe design, construction, operation, and maintenance of laboratories that handle hazardous chemicals. It focuses on critical aspects such as fire prevention in laboratory settings, proper storage, use of chemicals, and emergency response measures. NFPA 45 outlines the necessary precautions and protocols that should be implemented to minimize the risks associated with chemical usage and to create a safe laboratory environment. This includes recommendations on ventilation, safety equipment, and how to manage combustible substances effectively. The other options, while relevant to fire safety, pertain to different contexts. NFPA 55 addresses the storage of compressed gases and cryogenic fluids, NFPA 91 deals with smoke control systems, and NFPA 96 focuses on ventilation control and fire protection of commercial cooking operations. Each of these standards has its own specific scope, making NFPA 45 the correct choice for laboratories utilizing chemicals.
