NFPA 30, titled "Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code," is a comprehensive standard that provides fundamental safeguards for the storage, handling, and use of ignitible liquids, including waste liquids. It covers vital safety criteria for indoor and outdoor liquid storage containers and tanks, hazardous material storage lockers, tank vehicles, piping systems, and processing facilities. NFPA 30 is not just a set of recommendations. It is enforceable under building and fire prevention codes in numerous U.S. states (e.g., AL, AZ, CA, FL, IL, MA, NY, OH, TX) and many local jurisdictions. Furthermore, it is enforceable through Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.
