Help protect lives and property by complying with the most current requirements for fire prevention and control in coal mines.
NFPA 120, Standard for Fire Prevention and Control in Coal Mines, offers comprehensive information on protecting underground bituminous and surface coal mining, processing, conveyance and storage, loadout locations, and related surface buildings and facilities.
The 2023 edition is revised to include the latest industry knowledge and best practices for helping to safeguard these operations.
Notable changes include:
- New ventilation requirements added in Chapter 4 to reduce combustible gas concentrations in mines
- Several new requirements for conveyors introduced in Chapter 9 for fire detection in reclaim tunnels, the location of monitoring equipment, and cleaning conveyor systems to mitigate combustible dust buildup, as well as egress and secondary escape requirements in below-grade, reclaim conveyor areas
- Revisions throughout the document to the terms flammable and combustible liquid to align with the ignitible (flammable and combustible) liquid terminology updated in NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code
