Even if such notification isn’t required in your jurisdiction, notification is a good idea to maintain trust and transparency.

(iii) If the fire pump is in an unmanned machinery space, the controls for its operation and the controls for all necessary valves must be located in:

According to a survey conducted by Forbes, 90% of small business retailers nationwide have experienced theft at their stores, and 83% said they believe retail theft is at least a somewhat major issue. Numbers like these highlight the critical need for effective security measures, including surveillance monitoring.

Businesses can enhance the effectiveness of their security cameras by placing clear, visible signs at entrances and surveillance areas and ensuring their security system includes features like remote monitoring and high-resolution evidence capture.

(C) A pressure tank capable of supplying one hose stream at a Pitot tube pressure of not less than 50 p.s.i. (35 p.s.i. for 3⁄4-inch hose) for five minutes.

Firehydrant

(a) Except as specifically modified by this paragraph, vessels must comply with the requirements of §§ 193.10-5 through 193.10-15 insofar as the number and general type of equipment is concerned.

(c) For vessels on an international voyage, the diameter of the fire main shall be sufficient for the effective distribution of the maximum required discharge from two fire pumps operating simultaneously. This requirement is in addition to § 193.10-5(c). The discharge of this quantity of water through hoses and nozzles at a sufficient number of adjacent hydrants must be at a minimum Pitot tube pressure of 50 pounds per square inch.

Regarding camera privacy laws in Connecticut, employees must be notified of all electronic surveillance that isn’t in publicly facing areas.

U.S. employers must never install security cameras in bathrooms, changing rooms, and similar personal areas. Those who do install cameras in areas where people are likely to remove clothing face the risk of breaking voyeurism laws.

(b) On vessels of 1,000 gross tons or more on an international voyage, each required fire pump, while delivering water through the fire main system at a pressure corresponding to that required by paragraph (c) of this section, must have a minimum capacity of at least two-thirds of that required for an independent bilge pump. However, in no case shall the capacity of each fire pump be less than that otherwise required by this section.

(e) All parts of the fire main located on exposed decks must either be protected against freezing or be fitted with cutout valves and drain valves so that the entire exposed parts of such piping may be shut off and drained in freezing weather. Except when closed to prevent freezing, such valves must be sealed open.

(c) On vessels of 500 gross tons or more there must be at least one shore connection to the fire main available to each side of the vessel in an accessible location. Suitable cutout valves and check valves must be provided for furnishing the vessel's shore connections with couplings mating those on the shore fire lines. Vessels of 500 gross tons or more on an international voyage, must be provided with at least one international shore connection complying with ASTM F 1121 (incorporated by reference, see § 193.01-3). Facilities must be available enabling an international shore connection to be used on either side of the vessel.

(B) Another suitable pump capable of supplying one hose stream at a Pitot tube pressure of not less than 50 p.s.i. (35 p.s.i. for 3⁄4-inch hose); or,

Employees should be informed about surveillance to maintain a positive work environment. This is where clear signage or notifications become essential.

(a) All piping, valves, and fittings, shall meet the applicable requirements of Subchapter F (Marine Engineering) of this chapter.

(1) Couplings must be of brass, bronze, or other equivalent metal. National Standard firehose coupling threads must be used for the 11⁄2-inch and 21⁄2-inch sizes, i.e., 9 threads per inch for 11⁄2-inch hose and 71⁄2 threads per inch for 21⁄2-inch hose.

(d) Fire pumps must be fitted on the discharge side with relief valves set to relieve at 25 p.s.i. in excess of the pressure necessary to maintain the requirements of paragraph (c) of this section or 125 p.s.i., whichever is greater. Relief valves may be omitted if the pumps, operating under shutoff conditions, are not capable of developing a pressure exceeding this amount.

Firepump

However, extra signage or nonmandated notifications are a good idea. They enhance the deterrence effect of cameras and provide extra legal safeguards for monitoring.

(i) Except as provided for in § 193.10-10(e), a sufficient number of hose streams for fire fighting purposes must be immediately available from the fire main at all times by either of the following methods:

Legal requirements for surveillance in employee areas vary by location. In some places, like Connecticut, employees must be notified about electronic surveillance in non-public areas. It's always a good idea to maintain transparency with employees regarding surveillance.

Place signs at entrances and in areas where surveillance is active. This not only covers most legal bases but also reinforces the message that your premises are well-protected.

(j) When the firehose nozzle in the below locations was previously approved under subpart 162.027 of this chapter, a low-velocity water spray applicator, also previously approved under subpart 162.027, of this chapter must be installed as follows:

(ii) If the fire pump is in a continuously manned machinery space, the controls for operating it and the controls for all necessary valves must be located on the manned operating platform in that space.

According to Forbes, 90% of small business retailers have experienced theft, highlighting the critical need for effective security measures like surveillance monitoring.

Audio surveillance is likely to collect more personal information than video-only surveillance. In all-party consent states like Connecticut, audio recording requires the consent of all recorded individuals.

This content is from the eCFR and may include recent changes applied to the CFR. The official, published CFR, is updated annually and available below under "Published Edition". You can learn more about the process here.

Generally, in public areas where there's no expectation of privacy, such as store aisles and restaurants, using security cameras without explicit signage is likely to be legal.

As an all-party consent state for electronic audio recording, Connecticut requires the consent of all individuals who are audio-recorded.

This stricter requirement is in place because audio surveillance is likely to collect far more personal information than video-only surveillance. In fact, security cameras should have their audio recording features disabled in almost all cases.

(a) The provisions of this subpart, with the exception of § 193.10-90, shall apply to all vessels contracted for on or after March 1, 1968.

On the other hand, faded security signs may indicate to savvy criminals that your business has an old security system that lacks the most effective security features of today’s camera systems—features like remote monitoring, high-resolution evidence capture, and proactive mobile alerts that raise the likelihood that intruders and other bad actors will be apprehended by law enforcement.

(f) Fire pumps may be used for other purposes provided at least one of the required pumps is kept available for use on the fire system at all times. In no case may a pump having connection to an oil line be used as a fire pump. Branch lines connected to the fire main for purposes other than fire and deck wash must be so arranged that adequate water can be made continuously available for firefighting purposes.

It’s always a good idea to consult with security professionals. They can provide tailored advice and help you navigate the complex world of surveillance laws and best practices.

When implementing a business security camera system, consider the nature of your business, the layout of your premises, and local laws. Tailoring your approach to these factors is crucial for effective surveillance.

(b) In 21⁄2-inch hose and hydrants specified in Table 193.10-5(a) of this subpart, on vessels of more than 1,500 gross tons, the hydrants in interior locations may have wye connections for 11⁄2-inch hose. In these cases, the hose must be 75 feet (22.86 meters) in length, and only one hose will be required at each fire station; however, if all such stations can be satisfactorily served with 50-foot lengths, 50-foot hose may be used. The hydrants for exterior locations may substitute two 11⁄2-inch outlets, each with a 11⁄2-inch hose, supplied through a wye connection.

(h) Where two fire pumps are required on vessels with main or auxiliary oil-fired boilers or with internal combustion propulsion machinery, the pumps must be located in separate spaces. The pumps, sea connections, and sources of power must be arranged to ensure that a fire in any one space will not put all of the fire pumps out of operation. However, where it is shown to the satisfaction of the Commandant that it is unreasonable or impracticable to meet this requirement, the installation of a fixed fire extinguishing system may be accepted as an alternate method of extinguishing any fire that would affect the powering and operation for the required fire pumps.

(c) Each pump must be capable of delivering water simultaneously from the outlets having the greatest pressure drop from the fire pumps to the nozzles which may not always be the two highest outlets, at a Pitot tube pressure of not less than 50 p.s.i. Where 11⁄2-inch hose is permitted in lieu of 21⁄2-inch hose by footnote 2 of Table 193.10-5(a), the pump capacity must be determined on the same basis as if 21⁄2-inch hose had been permitted. Where 3⁄4-inch hose is permitted by Table 193.10-5(a), the Pitot tube pressure may not be less than 35 p.s.i.

It is illegal for U.S. employers to install security cameras in bathrooms, changing rooms, and similar personal areas. Doing so risks breaking voyeurism laws and invading personal privacy.

Consulting with security experts can provide businesses with tailored advice, helping them navigate the complex world of surveillance laws and best practices for their unique security needs.

(3) Where 3⁄4-inch hose is permitted by Table 193.10-5(a) of this subpart, the hose and couplings must be of good commercial grade.

(2) Each firehose in each propulsion machinery space containing oil-fired boiler, internal combustion machinery, or oil fuel unit on a vessel of 1,000 gross tons or more—the length of each applicator must be 1.2 meters (4 feet).

(4) Each section of firehose used after January 1, 1980 must be lined commercial firehose that conforms to Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. Standard 19 or Federal Specification ZZ-H-451E. Hose that bears the label of Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. as lined firehose is accepted as conforming to this requirement. Each section of replacement firehose or any section of new firehose placed aboard a vessel after January 1, 1977 must also conform to the specification required by this paragraph.

(ii) An audible alarm must be installed to sound in a continuously manned space if the pressure in the fire main drops to less than that necessary to maintain the minimum Pitot tube pressures specified in § 193.10-5(i)(1)(i)(B).

(g) Each fire hydrant must be provided with a single length of hose with nozzle attached and a spanner wrench. A suitable hose rack or other device must be provided for the proper stowage of the hose. If the hose is not stowed in the open or behind glass so as to be readily seen, the enclosures must be marked in accordance with § 196.37-15 of this subchapter.

The eCFR is displayed with paragraphs split and indented to follow the hierarchy of the document. This is an automated process for user convenience only and is not intended to alter agency intent or existing codification.

(a) The size of fire hydrants, hose, and nozzles and the length of hose required must be as noted in Table 193.10-5(a) of this subpart.

Firemains and hydrants

Businesses must be aware of their legal obligations. Different states and countries have varying laws regarding surveillance, but a common thread is respect for an individual's reasonable expectation of privacy.

Consider factors like the nature of your business, the layout of your premises, and local laws when deciding on your surveillance strategy.

(b) Existing equipment, except firehose nozzles and low-velocity water spray applicators, previously approved but not meeting the applicable requirements of §§ 193.10-5 through 193.10-15, may be continued in service so long as they are maintained in good condition to the satisfaction of the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection. Minor repairs, alterations, and replacements may be permitted to the same standards as the original installations. However, all new installations or major replacements must meet the applicable requirements in this subpart for new installations.

(m) Fire hydrants, nozzles, and other fittings must have threads to accommodate the hose connections noted in this paragraph. Firehose and couplings must be as follows:

(d) Fire hydrants must be of sufficient number and so located that any part of the vessel, other than main machinery spaces, may be reached with at least 2 streams of water from separate outlets, at least one of which must be from a single length of hose. In main machinery spaces, all portions of such spaces must be capable of being reached by at least 2 streams of water, each of which must be from a single length of hose from separate outlets; however, this requirement need not apply to shaft alleys containing no assigned space for the stowage of combustibles. Fire hydrants must be numbered as required by § 196.37-15 of this subchapter.

(f) The outlet at the fire hydrant must be limited to any position from the horizontal to the vertical pointing downward, so that the hose will lead horizontally or downward to minimize the possibility of kinking.

But this brings us to an important question: Do businesses need to post that they have security cameras? Well, sometimes.

(c) Vessels must comply with the general requirements of § 193.10-5 (c) through (g), § 193.10-10 (d) through (m), and § 193.10-15 insofar as is reasonable and practicable.

46 U.S.C. 2213, 3102, 3306; E.O. 12234, 45 FR 58801, 3 CFR, 1980 Comp., p. 277; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.

Navigate by entering citations or phrases (eg: 1 CFR 1.1 49 CFR 172.101 Organization and Purpose 1/1.1 Regulation Y FAR).

Disabling audio recording features on security cameras is advisable to avoid collecting excessive personal information and to comply with stricter legal requirements for audio surveillance.

(k) Fixed brackets, hooks, or other means for stowing an applicator must be next to each fire hydrant that has an applicator under paragraph (j) of this section.

(i) Each fire hydrant must have at least 1 length of firehose. Each firehose must have a combination solid stream and water spray nozzle that is approved under subpart 162.027 of this subchapter, except 19 millimeters (3/4 inch) hose may have a garden hose nozzle that is bronze or metal with strength and corrosion resistance equivalent to bronze. Combination solid stream and water spray nozzles previously approved under subpart 162.027 of this chapter may be retained so long as they are maintained in good condition to the satisfaction of the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection.
