The Costly Consequences of an Explosion

Consider for a moment the devastating after effects an explosion could cause in your manufacturing plant or processing facility.

A vital process could be shut down for days or even weeks. The business interruption and resulting lost productivity could put your company at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace. The cost coverage could increase dramatically.

Or worse yet, your employees could sustain serious or even fatal injuries.

It all adds up to one sobering fact: an explosion hits your company where you can least afford it... on the bottom line.

Fortunately there are reliable, proven ways to safeguard your most vital facilities against explosion and protect your bottom line.  Did you know:

  • The average dollar loss per explosion incident in a typical year is $3.4 million dollars...
  • Total losses from explosions are four times the amount of losses from all other causes, including fire...
  • Explosions account for less than 4% of all interruptions but nearly 40% of all losses
