Fires at manufacturing facilities and other business properties are all too common and can result in hundreds of millions of dollars in direct property damage annually and put employees at risk. Fires don’t have to be your reality, though. Adequate planning, implementing appropriate safety measures for processes and equipment likely to cause fires, and proper firefighting equipment may help minimize your exposure to this very real and costly danger. Regular site visits by a Risk Engineer and fire protection courses may also help your business avoid serious losses.
