Industrial
facilities present many different challenges in preventing
and limiting costly damage, downtime and risk to people and
the environment. Factories, laboratories, power plants and
refineries are all examples of industrial occupancies and
each require hazard assessments to ensure fire protection
requirements have been addressed using current standards and
practices.
Common
areas of protection include: process equipment, control rooms, motor-
control centers, pneumatic conveying process, and metal-treatment
