One of the biggest risks to warehouses and production facilities is fires, which can spread rapidly in these environments.
Facilities that are most at risk are those that have high ceilings, large footprints and hold large quantities of inventory that is stored close together. Once a fire starts in that kind of setting, it’s difficult to suppress, putting your entire inventory at risk, as well as machinery and the building itself.
If you operate such a facility, you need to make sure that you reduce the risk of fires, and that you keep your inventory clear of any potential ignition sources.
To start, you need to understand what kind of ignition sources you have on your premises, and how to identify hazards. Preventing Warehouse and Factory Fires
