ChemSW has announced the release of a new industry white paper that focuses on a previously largely ignored topic: fire code reporting. Addressing chemical fire code requirements in the laboratory and wherever else chemicals are stored on site enables organizations to satisfy regulatory requirements and provide safety for their employees, the community and the environment.

“Ensuring safety on site is high on the list of priorities for any organization,” states Jeff Tarter, author and principal of Integrated Engineering Services. “No one wants to be the cause of pain and suffering to any employee, visitor, the surrounding community, and certainly not the environment we are all trying so hard to protect. But accidents happen every day, many of which are caused by errors or oversights that could easily have prevented the incident. Addressing fire code requirements pertaining to chemical management on site, and reporting the organization’s compliance efforts, will help ensure that accidents don’t happen.” Entitled "Best Practices for Fire Code Reporting", the white paper seeks to provide a greater understanding of the issues surrounding fire code reporting in order to maximize both laboratory and overall site safety. The white paper clarifies this key component of laboratory and site safety by outlining best practices in fire code reporting. A close look is provided at applicable fire codes, how to identify inventory affected by fire codes, and how to leverage industry best practices for fire code reporting integrity. The most common points of failure in fire code reporting systems, from the transition of permits to ongoing management and reporting, are examined as well as how to gain control of fire code reporting to readily satisfy regulations.
