A machine shop is typically considered an Ordinary Hazard Group 1 occupancy due to the moderate level of fire load, including the presence of combustible materials, machinery, and processes that produce sparks or hot metal. This classification guides the design and installation of sprinkler systems to address the specific fire risks associated with such environments.

Extra Hazard Group 1 seems too extreme for a machine shop.

I’m torn between Ordinary Hazard Group 1 and Group 2 for a machine shop. I wish I had reviewed that section more thoroughly!

I practiced a similar question, and I think it was about a woodworking shop, which was classified as Extra Hazard Group 1.

I remember discussing occupancy classifications, and I feel like light hazard doesn't fit a machine shop at all.

I think a machine shop might be Ordinary Hazard Group 2, but I'm not entirely sure.
