American Fire Technologies requires all employees to refrain from “Distracted Driving” and encourages this practice for its employees in their off hours as well. OSHA publication “Distracted Driving”,(OSHA 3416 – 2011), provides useful guidelines to bring awareness to the importance of safe driving practices. AFT utilizes these guidelines in new hires orientation program and for periodic reminders during company meetings and for all project start-ups.

RE: Nonincendive Fire Protection System Circuits
Purpose The intent of this document is to determine what defines a nonincendive fire protection initiating circuit and when intrinsic barriers are not required. Codes, Standards and Recommendations ANSI/ISA- ANSI/ISA-12.12.01, Nonincendive Electrical Equipment
- NFPA 70, National Electric Code (Article 300, 500, 502, 760, and 800)
- NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code
- NFPA 499, Classified of Combustible Dusts
- NFPA 850, Fire Protection for Electric Generating Plants and High Voltage Direct Current Converter Stations
- The circuits are either total encapsulated and installed in screwed rigid conduit with NEMA 4x junction boxes, which make it dust proof. NEC article 500.7 (b)
- The Circuits and Devices are considered Nonincendive per the NEC and ANSI/ISA-12.12.01.
- The operating voltage is not over 30vdc per the NEC and do not pose a great enough threat during normal operations. 502.25
