NFPA system question

Greetings - Looking for regulatory information on NFPA posting requirements. Is this system (or some other system) mandatory posting for an anodizing job shop?

Thanks for the help!

Depending on your jurisdiction, chemicals used, etc., various things may need to happen. The first thing to do is contact your local Building/Fire Department to find out which codes they currently use (Most likely BOCA, the International set of codes, or the Uniform set of codes). These codes define WHAT is required for particular applications. The NFPA codes are more geared toward HOW the requirements of codes (i.e. BOCA, Uniform Codes, etc.) should be applied.
