When searching for superior site protection, many supervisors overlook their company’s most vulnerable asset: their employees They spend so much time trying to find the storage solution to a host of chemical storage dilemmas, they fail to safeguard what’s most important. While containing and isolating dangerous chemicals with fire protection steel paneling is crucial to your job-site’s overall security, you still have to protect the irreplaceable.

Don’t get caught in the eye of the storm, invest in U.S. Hazmat Rentals storm shelters

Every year, thousands of chemical manufacturers, factories and construction companies are handed down millions of dollars in fines for improper chemical storage. Thousands of people are injured annually because their company’s safety engineers didn’t take the necessary steps to ensure they were protected while on the job. Hundreds of those injured employees eventually die from their wounds or are permanently disabled. Aside from your typical menacing leaks and exposures, hazmat incidents can quickly increase in magnitude and negatively impact a community for decades to come. Explosions, fires and deluges of toxic waste can put helpless citizens in harm’s way with less prior notice than a tornado. These disastrous events can have the same reverberating effect as a twister or hurricane and leave residents homeless for the foreseeable future.

Improper chemical storage isn’t the only threat to your company’s personnel. As if there weren’t enough sinister threats lurking on the horizon that can strike with little warning. As spring warms the air and recharges our batteries, construction companies and other on-the-go organizations are once again taking on dozens of new projects as their workforce begins to swell. While negligence is often a job site’s biggest enemy, no one is immune from the sudden devastating effects of tornadoes. And as climate change has already extended storm season to a point where there is almost no beginning or end, steel protection will likely come at a premium at one of our competitors. Most recently, we were reminded of the devastating effects of Mother Nature’s fury when a tornado touched down in Nashville, Tenn. At the end of the day, your employees will need a tornado lock storm shelter to survive any sudden storm.
