Select, use, and maintain fire extinguishers with expert advice in the 2010 NFPA 10 Digital Handbook.
Portable fire extinguishers are an important first line of defense against small fires. For adequate protection, be sure to select, use, and maintain extinguishers using requirements as presented in the 2010 NFPA 10: Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers.
The 2010 NFPA 10 provided clarification of what Certification is and how it relates to performing service and maintenance of portable fire extinguishers, more specific guidelines for the placement of extinguishers that reduce ambiguity, added definitions for pressurized flammable liquid and clean agent extinguishers, and an added precaution and related Annex on the use of dry chemical fire extinguishers around delicate electronic equipment. The 2010 Digital Handbook makes the Standard even easier to apply.
The 2010 NFPA 10 Digital Handbook includes the full text of the Standard, new explanations, and full-color imagery.
