For jobsites located in or near blast zones, like those at factories, refineries or power plants, operators are often required by law to provide safe facilities for essential employees. In most cases, that means using blast-resistant buildings for onsite offices, lavatories and breakrooms to keep workers, contractors and customers safe.
These blast-protective and versatile buildings are commonly referred to as blast resistant modules, or BRMs. Under the protective roof of a BRM, you can run your project, or take a break from it, all while staying safe in even the most hazardous conditions.
What Makes Blast Resistant Modules Blast Resistant?
Unlike traditional structures, blast resistant modules are designed and built to withstand the impact of an explosion. Each module is constructed primarily from heavy gauge steal to withstand blast events, commonly rated up to 8PSI and 200 milliseconds.
BRMs Keep Your Team Safe and Productive
Without blast resistant buildings, blast zone operators are required to regularly transport workers to safe zones for restroom and meal breaks. These frequent interruptions are costly for operators due to the required transportation, facilities and project delays.
BRMs allow operators to safely keep workers close to the action and on the job. The result: Workers are protected, and projects stay on track.
BRMs can be sized and outfitted for a variety of jobsite needs. From offices, breakrooms, control centers, tool cribs, locker rooms and more, your team is protected on the job no matter what task they are working on.
