Protect maintenance workers and aircraft with NFPA 410.

NFPA 410: Standard on Aircraft Maintenance addresses fire protection criteria for all maintenance activities conducted inside an aircraft hangar including:

* Aircraft fuel systems
* Welding operations
* Painting of aircraft

Important revisions in the 2010 NFPA 410 address fire safety issues.

NFPA 410 has been revised to ensure workers have appropriate fire protection equipment in the immediate location of aircraft maintenance operations. New provisions require that extinguishers shall be provided for aircraft maintenance operations in accordance with NFPA 10: Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers and as required by the AHJ for operations such as electrical maintenance, aircraft cleaning, and fuel transfer.
