Verification scope
Analysis published September 14, 2026. The governing authorities named in each domain — the NFPA fire standards and their adoption through the International Fire Code, the FDA Food Code and HACCP, the OSH Act General Duty Clause and its general-industry standards, and the federal business-records exception — were checked against the primary sources listed on the article. The article names standards by title only and states no edition. Its account of the five risk-management tasks is analytical framework, not legal advice.
