Safety & Health: Fire & Life Safety
Travelers Risk Control fire protection specialists have broad experience in many industries, such as manufacturing involving metal, wood, plastic, paper and textiles; wholesale and retail business; educational organizations; and various service organizations. Our fire protection specialists and consultants evaluate fire hazards and assess facilities and operations relative to property protection and business continuity. We conduct more than 22,000 on-site and virtual property surveys each year. In addition to property surveys, we may offer our customers a range of services, including customized consulting, employee training programs, evaluation of fire protection equipment and fire protection specifications, and plan reviews for new construction. Our Fire Protection Impairment Tool, available on our secure MyTravelers® for Business website and mobile platform, is designed to help customers record and communicate with Travelers when a sprinkler system, fire pump, special extinguishing system or another fire protection system component is out of service. The tool allows customers to track impairments at multiple properties and sends automatic reminder emails to help them ensure their systems are restored and back in service in a timely manner, protecting their business and employees.
Our specialists have deep expertise in fire and life safety standards. They maintain memberships with various National Fire Protection Association standards committees, UL Solutions Fire Council, various UL technical committees and the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety. They are also active in the nonprofit Property Insurance Research Group, which is part of the Fire Protection Research Foundation.
