The airline industry remains in a holding pattern. Grounded in March by the insidious Coronavirus pandemic, domestic air travel has struggled to regain its heading. Recently enacted travel bans from global hotspots will also negatively impact air travel in the months to come. With some airlines reporting a 92 percent drop in travel last spring – compared to 2019 figures – the reverberating effects of the pandemic will be felt well into 2021. While air travel continues to take a nosedive, the reduction in passengers will also affect ancillary industries. Aviation manufacturers have felt the squeeze too and have responded with a reduction in workforce. With a corporate restructuring looming, man companies will likely revisit safety protocols, including the need for fire-rated chemical storage.
Industry analysts project global passenger demand for air travel to fall by 60% this year, resulting in industry losses of nearly $120 billion.

Four-hour fire rated hazmat storage buildings can help companies organize dangerous chemicals, expensive equipment during restructuring or factory revamp
No one likes discussing “downsizing.” Not stockholders, supervisors and definitely not your highly skilled workforce. Your company spent years and billions of dollars solidifying a reputation as a dominant force in aerospace engineering. But with fewer people taking to the skies due to travel restrictions, the demand of turbojet engines will likewise fall. With layoffs looming, supervisors and team managers will be looking for ways to consolidate the workforce so purposes of efficiency. While wings of you jet engine factory dimming the lights, engineers will need to refocus and recharge manufacturing operations into a centralized location. Fire-rated chemical storage lockers from U.S. Hazmat Rentals can streamline this dreaded, but necessary reorganization. Easy-to-offload fire-rated chemical storage containers can be effortlessly installed and situated in any facility. These temporary containers will allow for convenient and compliant storage, so the remaining workforce can locate necessary tools and materials without scouring the entire facility.
Remain EPA and OSHA compliant until blue skies return with U.S. Hazmat Rentals
Like with any heavy duty manufacturer, the workplace is full of hazards. Aerospace facilities are no different. While the rate of nonfatal workplace injuries in aircraft manufacturing is on the decline, it still remains a persistent drag on the industry. Last year, a fire at the Firefly Aerospace facility in Texas led to road closures and evacuations. Such incidents remind us of the dangers that surround aerospace manufacturing facilities. Engineers and foreman can prevent such accidents by properly storing dangerous chemicals in fire-rated chemical storage lockers. These storage lockers provide revolutionary pushback shelving for optimal and secure storage. This makes storing and removing dangerous chemicals easy. Workers can effortlessly load and unload dangerous chemicals with a fork-lift or hand-truck. Dry-chemical fire suppression spigots and a spill sump containment system can mitigate the effects of accidents, spills and fires.
