Why Fire and life safety inspections are good for you

7/25/2018

0 Comments

 

Annual Inspections by the fire department are performed to assess and mitigate potential fire- and life-safety hazards in buildings.

Most fire departments provide you with a written report of any corrections that are necessary. These inspections vary in type and frequency, depending on the jurisdiction, city, and state.  How the fire inspectors perform these inspections also varies dramatically from area to area.


While many people look at the fire and life safety inspection process negatively, these inspections benefit the building/business owners, as well as those who use the building, by offering:

A safer working/living environment for employees/residents.

Business and job security. Up to 80 percent of all small businesses that experience a large fire never reopen; this not only affects the building/business owner, but also results in the loss of jobs. Of the businesses that do reopen, mainly 
lose much of their customer base due to prolonged absence of production or service.

A better-maintained building for improved resale value. It is commonplace for buyers to hire a company to inspect the building prior to purchase to identify potential hidden costs related to fire and life safety.

A possible reduction in insurance premiums. Some items may be required by both the fire department and your insurance carrier, such as annual fire-sprinkler and fire-alarm inspections verifying proper system maintenance. Many insurance carriers give businesses premium reductions for properly installed and maintained fire-protection systems.

do you have a car fire extinguisher?

83.3% of highway vehicle fires are passenger vehicles

66% of those fires occurred in standard passenger vehicles. Causes of vehicle fires unintentional actions accounted for 38 percent of highway vehicle fires. These fires may be the result of either careless behavior or accidental actions. Fires caused by intentional actions constituted only 5 percent of highway vehicle fires. The NFIRS no longer collects information on suspicious fires that may have been intentionally set.  As a result, fires caused by intentional actions may be undercounted. Moreover, due to the volume of fires, many automobile fires are not investigated for possible arson. Determining the cause of vehicle fires is often challenging. As a result, in 23 percent of highway vehicle fires, no cause was determined after an investigation. The failure of equipment or the heat source was the cause in an additional 21 percent of highway vehicle fires. These fires are generally a result of mechanical problems, ranging from a faulty design in the vehicle to an improperly installed device.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"These guys really help you with your fire extinguisher and emergency light issues. So I found them online and called and talked to the owner not a answering service or automated phone thing, then a service guy came and explained a lot of safety tips with me and stuff I didn't ever think of, so the fire inspector from the city fire department came to check out my fire equipment was impressed with how fast I got the EFR service company to take care of my fire extinguisher inspection. I am happy with the price." Mike P. Orland Park
