Ceramic heat emitters are not a fire hazard when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have no regulations specifically addressing ceramic heaters. However, both organizations have established general guidelines for the safe use of all types of heaters in the workplace. When used according to these guidelines, ceramic heat emitters pose no greater risk of fire than any other type of heater.
