When a fire occurs the recovery process can be challenging and complex, but an experienced team can help reduce the impact and restore operations quickly and safely. This begins with an evaluation of the safety of the incident site and confirmation of what equipment can be run, what must be repaired, and what must be replaced. The speed and accuracy of these critical evaluations determine the impact of the incident on operations and on future workplace safety.
