So Just How Important is Flameproofing Anyway?

Many details go into the starting and maintaining of a business. As a good business owner, you make sure every detail is properly attended to.  There’s a long list of items to consider, and somewhere on that list, without a doubt, is the issue of safety. When thinking about all the ways you need to keep your customers and employees safe, fire safety is a no brainer.  However, what might not be so obvious is the issue of fireproofing your establishment.  You might be wondering what that even means and if it is even necessary. Fireproofing your building is extremely important, and there are lots of reasons why.

Even if you personally didn’t think flameproofing your property was a necessity for safety, the law does.  To be issued a valid Certificate of Occupancy, a business owner needs to show proof of flameproofing.  This preventative measure against the spread of fire is mandated not only by your insurance company but also by the Health Department, the Building Department, and FDNY. Circumventing these fireproofing laws is not only costly but could be extremely dangerous to anyone who is on your property in the event of a fire.

While the law does require you to flameproof your establishment, having items in your building treated with flame repellent spray also adds another layer of protection for your customers, employees, your property and any other valuables you have on site. No one ever plans for a fire to occur, and sometimes, they are just genuine accidents.  However, as the person responsible for your building, it is up to you to provide for all aspects of safety, even if a fire seems unlikely.

Having peace of mind and a clear conscience is another reason why fireproofing is so important.  While sometimes a shortcut or a hack in one area or another might be worth it, fire safety and the protection of lives is not one of those areas. As a business owner, you are liable should any fire occur, and it is discovered that all necessary measures were not taken.  Once your establishment is properly treated with fire retardant spray, there will be no room for a guilty conscience and uneasy sleep in that regard; you will have done all that is within your power  and the scope of the law to keep your customers and employees safe, with no regrets.

The treatment of your business establishment with flame repellents is an essential step in ensuring the safety and protections of lives and property.
