What does NFPA 72 address?

1. Emergency Evacuation Plans

2. National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code

3. Hazardous Material Handling

4. Firefighter Training Standards

The correct answer is: National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code

NFPA 72, known as the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, specifically focuses on the requirements for the installation, performance, inspection, and maintenance of fire alarm systems and their components. This includes requirements related to signaling systems, which are essential for alerting occupants in the event of a fire or other emergencies. The code provides guidelines to ensure these systems are designed and operated effectively to provide early warning and help in life safety during emergencies. While emergency evacuation plans, hazardous material handling, and firefighter training standards are crucial components of fire safety and response, they fall under other NFPA standards or regulatory guidelines. NFPA 72 is uniquely dedicated to fire alarm and signaling systems, thus making it the correct choice in this context.
