Managing industrial facilities requires balancing safety, productivity, and compliance. Facility managers must oversee complex safety systems while facing resource constraints. This document provides four tips for industrial managers: 1) Choose an experienced fire protection contractor to design and install safety systems to ensure proper installation and compliance. 2) Engage a licensed service provider with certified personnel to properly test, inspect, and maintain safety systems. 3) Use a dedicated fire safety control system rather than production control systems to ensure components work as required and testing does not disrupt operations. 4) Partner with an experienced provider to gain expertise in system design, installation, and maintenance in order to strengthen safety programs.
