Fire Protection and Safety for Today’s Businesses

by Jason Jacobs

In today’s business work, investing in protection systems as well as providing hands-on-training program to educate people about the safety equipment, identifying common fire hazards and devising safe evacuation routes are invaluable in protecting a business and its most important asset — its people.

Fire protection devices and systems are essential to keeping buildings prepared, assets protected and people safe. Although they operate quietly in the background of a business, these resources are primed to respond to fire emergencies. Peace of mind and dependable protection are powerful components of safe workplaces. 

Fire sprinkler systems, fire extinguisher training, fire alarm panels, and emergency and exit lights’ illumination are other integral components of fire protection for today’s businesses. And some businesses may need around-the-clock facility monitoring for smoke or fire, emergency lights tests or fire extinguisher inspections.

The above items should be an integral part of an annual review of a business operation’s fire and safety plan.

Jason Jacobs is general manager of Cintas Fire Protection, which offers a broad range of solutions-based fire products and services, including professional testing and inspections, protecting valuable resources through monitoring and defense systems; is expert in kitchen suppression, hazard suppression, and national fire protection; and has a value inspection program to simplify and streamline fire safety processes.
