FYI: I blogged today about the new NFPA 58 on my StandardsForum.com blog. Read it to learn more about the changes from the previous 2011 Edition and about the TIAs (Tentative Interim Amendments) already been issued on the new 2014 revision.
With our energy policies in transition as climate change and the economics of fuel consumption affect our everyday lives, new standards are being released to improve the safety of these hazardous materials both in storage and in transport.
We often don't realize just how widely the various gases are used. But being near a brewery for many years here at our location in Belmont, we can tell you that hazardous materials are used for food processing. I'm sure you're aware of some welding activity that affects you -- from car repair to the manufacturing of some metal product in your home. And of course, every time we go to the gas pump or light our gas over, we're using these products.
Here in our area, the San Bruno gas explosion reminded us just how volatile and dangerous these fuels can be. Improvements in the safe handling, storage and transport of all gases is a top priority for standards professionals and regulators here in the U.S. and elsewhere.
