NFPA 140: Standard on Motion Picture and Television Production Studio Soundstages, Approved Production Facilities, and Production Locations, 2008 Edition

Ensure fire safety on soundstages and on location!

The 2008 NFPA 140: Standard on Motion Picture and Television Production Studio Soundstages, Approved Production Facilities, and Production Locations has been newly expanded to address on-site production locations as well as soundstages and approved production facilities. This important Standard provides complete safety requirements for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of facilities used in motion picture and television industry productions. Referencing the NEC®, NFPA 101®: Life Safety Code®,andNFPA 13: Installation of Sprinkler Systems, along with other vital documents, NFPA 140 contains provisions enabling users to blend daily operational needs with the latest principles of fire protection, property protection, and life safety. The 2008 edition is reformatted to clearly define which provisions apply to studio soundstages and approved production facilities, and which requirements apply to production locations (i.e. "filming on location"). It's a must-have reference for set designers, architects, engineers, maintenance professionals, and AHJs charged with ensuring safety. NFPA 140 does not apply to theaters, auditoriums, radio broadcast locations, or post-production facilities. 11 pp.
