Question

Which of the following does the National Fire Protection Association not do?

a) Create codes
b) Establish safety standards
c) Provide research
d) Monitor and enforce life safety codes

Answer 1

The National Fire Protection Association does not monitor and enforce life safety codes; this is generally performed by state and local governments.

Step-by-step explanation:

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is an organization known for creating codes and establishing safety standards related to fire prevention and protection, as well as providing research to support these standards. However, the NFPA does not have the authority to monitor and enforce life safety codes; that responsibility typically falls to state and local governments which adopt and enforce these codes. Contrastingly, agencies like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) investigate workplace accidents and enforce regulations, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulates civilian use of nuclear materials. The Department of Energy supervises the transmission of various forms of energy.
