Kaloutas fireproofing service in industrial building Why It’s Important to Focus on Fireproofing Your Business and How Kaloutas Can Help

Busi­ness own­ers have plen­ty on their plate, but of all the respon­si­bil­i­ties and pri­or­i­ties to con­sid­er, safe­ty should always be at the top of the list. Of course, main­tain­ing a safe work envi­ron­ment is its own mul­ti-faceted effort, and fire­proof­ing your busi­ness is one such mea­sure that can­not be over­looked. Let’s explore why it’s impor­tant to focus on fire­proof­ing your busi­ness, and how Kaloutasfire­proof­ing ser­vices can help.

What Are the Ben­e­fits of Fire­proof­ing?

Fire­proof­ing Buys Time

In the event of a fire, the most impor­tant action to take is ensur­ing that every­one inside exits the build­ing safe­ly. As the fire spreads, though, it can weak­en struc­tures and cre­ate mul­ti­ple haz­ards as peo­ple attempt to flee. Build­ings out­fit­ted with fire­proof coat­ings and fire­proof­ing sys­tems main­tain their struc­tur­al integri­ty for longer, giv­ing per­son­nel more time to escape and fire­fight­ers more time to arrive and put out the flames. Even if severe dam­age is done to the prop­er­ty, fire­proof­ing decreas­es the odds of injury and death.

Fire­proof­ing Pro­tects Your Investment

Once your peo­ple are safe­ly dis­tanced from the fire, your next con­cern is, of course, your prop­er­ty. Insur­ance may cov­er most or all of the dam­age done, but rebuild­ing after a major fire is a mas­sive effort that can set your busi­ness back sig­nif­i­cant­ly. Shield­ing your struc­tures and assets with fire-resis­tant pro­tec­tive intu­mes­cent coat­ings, cemen­ti­tious and fibrous sys­tems is a key way to pro­tect your invest­ment and min­i­mize the dam­age done over­all. Once again, fire­proof coat­ings slow the spread of fire, allow­ing fire­fight­ers to more quick­ly and effec­tive­ly put it out. Ulti­mate­ly, the amount of dam­age done to a busi­ness that lacks fire­proof coat­ings is bound to exceed that of a busi­ness that is prop­er­ly protected.

Fire­proof­ing May Be Required by Law

It’s impor­tant to focus on fire­proof­ing for legal rea­sons as well. In the U.S., both fed­er­al and state gov­ern­ments have cer­tain build­ing codes that must be fol­lowed. Main­tain­ing prop­er safe­ty mea­sures like fire­proof­ing are includ­ed in these require­ments. Dif­fer­ent types of build­ings and busi­ness­es may be ordered to fol­low slight­ly dif­fer­ent man­dates, but the bot­tom line is this: if you neglect the rel­e­vant fire­proof­ing codes, you may be faced with fines and oth­er legal penal­ties that will hurt your busi­ness and reputation.

How Kaloutas Can Help Fire­proof Your Business

Ide­al­ly, your prop­er­ty will nev­er catch fire. We live in an unpre­dictable world, though, and wher­ev­er there is elec­tric­i­ty, com­bustible chem­i­cals, heat sources, etc., fires can start and spread quick­ly. Fire­proof­ing buys you and your peo­ple time to safe­ly escape from a burn­ing build­ing, pro­tects your prop­er­ty from severe dam­age, and ensures that your busi­ness remains com­pli­ant with any and all safe­ty require­ments. If you’re unsure of the state of your busi­ness’ cur­rent fire­proof­ing efforts, Kaloutas is here to help.
