The Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registry lists over 6 million commercially available chemicals, and more are added each day. Many of these chemicals are classified as hazardous materials—those which present physical hazards or health hazards. Few commercial operations are without at least some of these materials and are effected by fire and building code requirements.

The storage, dispensing, use, and handling of hazardous materials are highly regulated by fire and building codes, as well as, NFPA standards. Without a comprehensive knowledge of hazardous materials regulations compliance can be extensive and expensive.  Fire & Life Safety has developed practical applications to provide reasonable and cost effective alternatives for your compliance issues.

Fire & Life Safety has extensive experience and knowledge in the proper application of code requirements for facilities containing hazardous materials, whether for existing occupancies, tenant improvement or new construction.
