Save time by training your staff in fireproofing

There are many reasons to improve your company’s fire sealing skills. For example, having your employees become certified fireproofers can help you work more efficiently – and save money in the process.

Construction projects that fall behind schedule, over budget or otherwise do not go as planned are not uncommon. Often this is because they are stuck waiting to start the next phase of the project. For example, there is a shortage of materials that need to be purchased, or you have to wait for external expertise, such as fireproofing, before construction can continue. The latter is an unnecessary situation to get into, especially when it can be easily avoided – while saving the company money.

If you have fireproofing expertise within your company, you can plan better, knowing already at the design stage that you have one or more of your own employees who can carry out the work at once. In other words, you avoid losing several weeks in production time and risk falling behind schedule. Including fireproofing at an early stage of planning simplifies the whole process.

In addition to moving the project forward on schedule, trained employees also bring financial benefits. Not only will you avoid extra costs in terms of additional staffing, but you are also likely to save even more money in terms of minimized risks.

Many people whose primary task is not fire sealing, but who nevertheless perform some sealing, are not trained. This can lead to risks that end up being very costly. A person who is not completely sure that they are doing their fire sealing correctly risks making mistakes, or missing one or more parts of the process. As a consequence, the work may need to be redone, which not only means unnecessary and high costs in terms of time and materials – it may also risk disrupting the schedule.
