NFPA 306, Standard for the Control of Gas Hazards on Vessels, 2024 Edition ISBN-978-1455930609

NFPA 306 explains where flammable and combustible items should be placed on ships and gives safety rules for working in tight or restricted spaces. It’s important for shipyards, docks, and vessels because gas risks can cause serious fires and harm people.

The standard, called “Control of Gas Hazards on Vessels,” sets rules to lower dangers from harmful, flammable, and combustible gases, liquids, chemicals, or vapors. It also sets the basic safety requirements for entering and working in limited spaces on waterfront buildings and ships. This includes enclosed areas on land that are part of a shipyard or dock, as well as ships that are being built, fixed, repaired, or scrapped.
