The Importance of Fire Safety

Fire is a serious concern during construction, repair and retrofit projects because materials can be exposed to ignition sources. For example, there may be a potential for polyurethane foam to be exposed to open flame from welding, cutting torches, and other ignition sources from allied trades during certain construction sequences. While fires involving polyurethane foam during construction, retrofit or repair are rare, they do happen. Please read and share the following documents for more information on Fire Safety while working with polyurethane foam.
