This makes the acronym after the definitionsconfusing. We should also have the committee responsibility next to each committeeroster such as: HEA-PIP (Chapters 3, 5 & 15).- Some definitions have acronyms after them and some do not. We should make thisconsistent and make- The committee discussed houses pressurized with increased oxygen atmospheres. ShouldNFPA 99 address this? Would this be under the Hyperbaric committee?- The committee recognizes that there is room for research into the use of CO2extinguishers in ORs.New Task group was formed to coordinate the definition and application of private modesignaling in healthcare and detentional facilities applying the concept of defend in place24
