Construction
First, understand what materials have been used in building construction and how fire resistant they are.
Loss prevention
Become knowledgeable in techniques that build resilience
Build resilience against fire hazards
The sobering reality is that fire is the costliest and most dangerous risk to occupants, building owners and businesses. Fire is still the No. 1 cause of loss for all claims FM manages globally.

-
Storage
Second, businesses and property owners need to be aware of the fire risk of the items on their premises.
-
Sprinklers

Ignitable liquids
FM Approved solutions can help you prevent and minimize ignitable liquid fires.
-
Special protection
Consider FM Approved hybrid fire protection systems for specific occupancies and hazards.
-
Dust and gases
Substitute, eliminate, or inert the materials that create the hazard. Protect with FM Approved explosion suppression systems.
-
Prepare for the nature of your climate risk
Have a solid plan that addresses how you'll protect property and business continuity when a natural hazard unfolds.
-
Flood
Flood is one of the costliest natural hazards in the world, yet most flood loss is both predictable and preventable.

-
Earthquake
You can’t predict exactly when an earthquake will hit or how severe it will be, but you can prepare for it.
Consider equipment failures
Given losses can run to billions of dollars, take control of your equipment exposures and become more resilient by managing them proactively.
-
Asset integrity
Get a detailed understanding of your vulnerabilities and an accurate assessment of potential associated losses.
-
Operator
Manage and survey operator performance to identify issues. Prioritize remedial action, implement consistent standards, target training and improve your risk profile.
-
Contingency planning
Plan maintenance programs around seasonal dips or production cycles. Where machinery needs to be replaced, identifying its remaining lifespan early allows companies to factor in the long lead times that often come with complex equipment and minimize disruption when they are decommissioned.
-
Analytics
Detailed inspections generate the data to make informed decisions on expediting or delaying scheduled services and maintenance. They enable companies to design a program that prioritizes required action rather than sticking blindly to the standard recommended timeframes.
