IN SAFETY
THE ECOSYSTEM EXPLAINED
NFPA believes that fire, life, and electrical safety are only
possible when a safety ecosystem exists to create a culture
of best practices and stakeholder accountability. To that end,
the NFPA Fire & Life Safety Ecosystem is made up of eight key
elements: government responsibility, development and use
of current codes, referenced standards, investment in safety,
a skilled workforce, code compliance, preparedness and
emergency response, and an informed public. NFPA envisions
those components as cogs working together-when one cog
fails, the entire system can break down. The items below,
taken from recent news events, represent a survey of ecosystem successes and failures. For more on the NFPA Fire &
Life Safety Ecosystem, visit nfpa.org/ecosystem.
