Take a look at the points below to understand why installing fire-suppression equipment in your building is a priority.
Protecting Inventory
Installing fire suppression systems is essential to ensure the safety of your employees and customers at the dispensary. It’s important to remember that a fire-suppression system is also useful for protecting inventory, depending on the nature of your company. A small fire can destroy a large portion of your cannabis or hemp inventory, even if it does not cause any harm to anyone.
Avoiding claims and lawsuits
In the event that someone suffers injury in an accident at your dispensary or grow shop, they could have a case if you fail to provide adequate protection. Install fire suppression and safety equipment to avoid legal and financial issues.
Boosting your Business’ Reputation
You are still relatively young in your industry. Many of your customers may be trying out your product for the very first time. Many dispensary clients are first-time customers.
These customers might feel uncomfortable on their first visit, even if they have no reason. Some customers may be looking for proof that your business is reputable, given that some products are only newly legalized and that many businesses in the industry are relatively young.
Another reason for installing a fire suppression system is to protect your property. You may think this is a small point but all aspects of your company and property will have an impact on the perceptions that potential customers form. You may find that a potential customer is more inclined to trust you if they see you have taken steps to ensure their safety and the safety of others. They may also be more inclined to use your services instead of those offered by competitors if they see that you’ve taken such steps as installing safety equipment.
You should be aware that while installing the right fire safety gear can enhance your business’s image, its failure to do so can negatively impact your reputation. Customers’ opinions of you may be changed overnight if they learn that a fire broke out on your premises and did more damage than if safety protocols and systems had been implemented. It can be difficult to win back the trust of customers when such an event occurs.
Tax Benefits
Most businesses are expensive. Your dispensary, or even your grow operation won’t thrive if you only focus on bringing in money. It is important to look for ways to cut costs.
Fire suppression equipment is a great way to do this. Businesses that invest in new safety equipment are often eligible for tax incentives. If you are a good safety precaution, your insurer might also offer lower rates.
Installing a fire suppression system will likely cost you less than the money that you’ll save. If you are considering installing equipment for fire protection later because of a tight budget, keep this in mind. It’s a job that you should cross off as quickly as possible.
