As a business owner, your to-do list is a mile long. There are so many things you need to negotiate, manage, and oversee. Somewhere on that list is fire safety. You know it's important, but you might have even thought, "How likely is a fire? Do I really need to flameproof on top of all the other fire safety measures I'm required to take?" Those are great questions, and while, if you're fortunate, a fire will never occur, if one should happen, you want to know you've taken every single precaution. So, is flameproofing necessary and do you really need to do it? Yes and yes.
The first unavoidable reason you need to make sure your business property is properly flameproofed is because they law says so. If you want to get your Certificate of Occupancy, the FDNY, the Health Department, the Building Department and your insurance carriers all demand that you show proof of fireproofing.
Next, even if this wasn't a legal requirment, you'd want to make sure your business establishment was properly treated with flame repellents. As a business owner, you are guaranteeing your customers and patrons that you have made every provision for their safety once they set foot on your property. That is part of the trust your customers are placing in you when they come to do business.
The final reason you would want to make sure eligible items on your property are treated with fire retardants is your own peace of mind. There is nothing more torturous than a troubled conscience. There isn't anything more haunting than to know that, in the event of a fire, lives might have been saved if those legal precautions were taken. To live with the reality that you took shortcuts and lives were lost as a result would be a horrible, lifelong burden to bear.
There are many elements of safety you need to provide for your customers. Fire safety is just one of them, and fireproofing is just one more level. However, this step is incredibly vital for safety and necessary to legally allow customers onto your premises and for establishment to be open for business. While it can feel like another hurdle for an improbable occurrence, this is one precaution you absolutely to do not want to forego.
