More about the Topic:
Our last dinner meeting of the year gives our members a
chance to understand a practical approach to addressing
chemical usage and storage in multiuse facilities.
Our presentation will introduce the requirements of the
International Codes and the NFPA, which form the basis
of the chemical analysis needed.
The presentation will also introduce the steps involved in
conducting the analysis including developing an inventory
of the chemicals used in the building, extracting the
necessary information from the MSDS sheets, and
determining the classifications of the chemicals and their
compatibility along with the impacts on the Architectural,
Electrical and Mechanical Systems with the Buildings.
