For the first time in its 170-year history, FM Global, one of the world’s largest commercial and industrial property insurers, has released thousands of pages of its property loss prevention engineering guidelines at no cost through its Web site www.fmglobaldatasheets.com.
 
FM Global’s Property Loss Prevention Data Sheets provide large-scale businesses, facility and risk managers, as well as the architects, consultants and contractors who work for them, with a tool to help prevent property damage and maintain business continuity due to threats posed by fire, weather conditions, and failure of electrical or mechanical equipment.
 
The engineering guidelines contain risk-prevention information on hundreds of topics, ranging from building construction and fire prevention to industrial equipment maintenance and natural disaster preparedness. Users who download the content also receive automatic notification via e-mail when data sheets are updated. FM Global is the only commercial property insurer in the world that develops and provides this type of technical data, all of which is based on scientific research and nearly two centuries of loss prevention experience.
 
FM Global’s decision to make this data available reflects the changing risk profiles of its clients around the world, especially the increasing interdependence of businesses brought about as a result of globalization and technology.
