The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards Council voted to approve the establishment of a High-Rise Building Safety Advisory Committee reporting directly to the Standards Council.




The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards Council voted to approve the establishment of a High-Rise Building Safety Advisory Committee reporting directly to the Standards Council. A Preliminary Scope follows:

This Advisory Committee provides review, assistance, and recommendations to NFPA Technical Committees, and to other activities with the NFPA system, on the very broad range of subjects that encompass the tall building environment. This includes, but is not limited to: reviewing and developing proposals/comments on NFPA documents; studying external information to assist with determining its relevance to an NFPA program or committee project; referring pertinent information to the Public Education Division for their consideration; recommending research activities for consideration by the FPRF; and providing implementation or other advice related to recommendations of the NSIT-WTC investigation.

The NFPA Standards Council will assign the membership and scope of this committee and the committee shall provide an annual report to the Council of its activities.

The Standards Council is seeking applicants with broad expertise that may not currently be involved in NFPA Technical Committee activities.

Applications are available. Go to www.nfpa.org for more information.
