USFA Coffee Break Training: Primer on Bonding and Grounding

Anyone working around flammable liquids and electricity knows the safety codes have requirements for “bonding” and “grounding.” This training vignette, “Primer on Bonding and Grounding” explains the differences between the two.

The United States Fire Administration’s (USFA) Coffee Break Training provides an overview of fire protection topics and does not include all details, requirements or exceptions to the topics that are described. Always refer to nationally recognized design and installation codes and standards, the product manufacturer, or listing details for specific information.
