The safety of our and customers employees is first and foremost. We have a full time in house safety representative that oversees every project and thoroughly trains every employee. All of our employees are MUST trained and many have undergone OSHA 10 or 30 hour accreditation. All of our foremen have undergone Red Cross First Aid/CPR training and certification. We have zero tolerance drug free workplace with every employee undergoing mandatory drug testing.
Design Services
Our team of drafters use the latest computer aided design software. Our engineers use 3D modeling to integrate our suppression piping into any BIM process. We have FPE and NICET certified drafters on staff to oversee all of the design work that we do. These designs meet or exceed the latest NFPA, local, and customer’s design criteria/codes/standards. The staff of Wm. Crook Fire Protection is very unique from many companies due to the high level of experience and education. The engineering department has over 100 years of fire protection design experience between the six engineers. Wm. Crook Fire Protection’s engineers serve as project managers and have the authority to qualify as a commissioning engineer. This hands-on approach is part of the quality control of our installations.
