As someone who runs his or her own business, you're familiar with all the big and small things needed for your company to be open to the public. Safety and fire safety is probably written on a scrap of paper in your big pile of things to do. But a smaller subset of fire safety is flameproofing, and that might not have made it to the list. It's required by the FDNY, the Building Department, and the Health Department (as well as your insurance carrier, by the way) to have certain materials and objects treated with fire retardants, if they aren't inherently non-combustible. If you're unsure about what's involved, taking an inside look at the C-15 Checklist can shed some light.
The C-15 Checklist is a document used by the FDNY to validate and sign off on the flameproofing company who will be performing your services. A flameproofing company must be valid C-15 Certificate of Fitness holder, and this checklist is part of how the FDNY assesses them. When you know what the FDNY is checking for, you can have your own mental checklist when you are hiring a flameproofing company to perform the services you need.
Below is a copy of the C-15 Checklist:
Familiarizing yourself with this information can help you better understand the process of flameproofing and what to expect with your treatment. This sheet can also help you have confidence in the company you hire, knowing that they themselves are meeting FDNY standards.
