Description

Dry cleaners may look like simple storefronts, but they often present serious safety challenges tied to fire risks, health concerns, and environmental hazards.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Long-term environmental and safety concerns from current, former, and neighboring dry cleaning operations
  • Solvent use and how it ties into fire code classifications and environmental risks
  • When dry cleaner sites may warrant a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, and why many trigger a Phase II
  • Fire and life safety issues, including extinguishers, egress, maintenance, spill containment, and storage of flammable/combustible materials
  • Common ventilation concerns and requirements, plus real-world examples of poor vapor control
  • Key ComSOP inspection points connected to dry cleaner risks
  • What to document, and where to look, during a commercial property inspection
