When operating a business you need all types of security protection. This includes both your security system for theft and break ins as well as fire safety. You will need to know what the building code regulations are for your particular building to know what the law requires in this area.

It may very well be likely that you are required to have a sprinkler system in the event of a fire and that your Insurance is insisting that the system be ULC certified. This really is for your own protection. It means that the system that is being installed in your premises meets all of the building code standards in this area. You never know for sure what kind of materials could be used in the construction of your premises. A unknown or less than credible builder could install inferior sprinkler systems that you are unaware of that won’t do the job they are supposed to. By having this ULC Certification you know that the protection you are relying on meets the standards.

What this means is that you need to seek out a professional who is qualified and listed as a ULC provider. This provider will be registered with ULC.

Something else that is really important in this area of your fire safety is to have your sprinkler system monitored. Knowing when your system has been activated can save you a lot of money. If it has been triggered falsely it gives you a chance to respond immediately. The water damage that can occur from this type of mishap can be extensive and you need to be able to rely on a monitoring company that is experienced and credible and will notify you immediately of the system activates.
