Fire protection: NOM-002-STPS consulting
Risk grade determined, complete program and documented drills — no surprises at inspection.
In context
NOM-002-STPS-2010 sets the fire prevention and protection conditions for workplaces: from determining the site's fire risk grade to the emergency plan, drills and fire equipment maintenance. It's one of the standards every plant must demonstrate, regardless of industry.
We review your program against the text of the standard, close the gaps and leave the evidence organized: risk classification, emergency response plan, extinguisher records, drills and training — all traceable by requirement.

NOM-002 frequently asked questions
It's determined from the built area and the maximum yearly inventory of flammable gases and liquids, combustible liquids, combustible solids and pyrophoric or explosive materials, applying the table and formula in Appendix A; with 3,000 m² or more of built area the risk is already high. It's the first thing we calculate, because the rest of the obligations derive from it.
The standard requires at least one a year at ordinary risk and two a year at high risk. What matters for a review is the evidence: scenario, participants, times and documented conclusions.
No. We verify that the program, monthly checks and records are in order, and coordinate with your maintenance provider when needed.
NOM-002 is a labor (STPS) standard; civil protection filings are separate. The good news: much of the evidence serves both, and we leave it organized so you can reuse it.
