Why Fire Retardant Materials Matter
Fire hazards pose a significant risk in both residential and commercial spaces. A small spark or accidental fire can quickly escalate, leading to devastating losses. Using fire-retardant materials like Perfect Cover® Fire Retardant helps reduce the spread of fire, buying valuable time for evacuation and emergency response.
Fire Safety Regulations during Construction in the U.S.
In the United States, fire safety during construction is primarily governed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 241: Standard for Safeguarding Construction, Alteration, and Demolition Operations. This standard outlines necessary precautions to mitigate fire risks on construction sites, including the implementation of passive fire protection measures.
While NFPA 241 emphasizes the importance of maintaining fire-resistant barriers and using appropriate firestopping techniques, it does not explicitly mandate the use of fire-retardant floor protection materials during construction. However, employing such materials can be a proactive measure to enhance site safety by preventing the spread of fire through floor assemblies.
However, not all states enforce these regulations uniformly, leaving some regions more vulnerable to fire risks. Despite this, many businesses and homeowners proactively choose fire-resistant materials like Perfect Cover® Fire Retardant for added protection.
Fire Safety Regulations during Construction in Canada
In Canada, fire safety during construction is regulated by the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) and provincial fire codes, which set stringent requirements to minimize fire hazards. These regulations mandate the use of fire-resistant materials in various applications, including temporary protective coverings, to prevent fire spread and protect workers and structures. Some provinces, such as Ontario and British Columbia, have additional fire safety guidelines that may require enhanced fire-retardant measures on construction sites. While specific requirements for fire-retardant surface protection may vary, using certified products like Perfect Cover® Fire Retardant aligns with best practices in construction safety and helps meet regulatory expectations.
