Underwriters Laboratories and the Institute for Business & Home Safety have joined forces to promote public awareness about residential and commercial property safety issues. The groups intend to leverage their resources and expertise to encourage property loss prevention through joint education, awareness, and outreach activities.
One of the first projects the groups expect to undertake relates to reducing hail damage to homes and businesses, a problem that costs more than a billion dollars each year. The campaign would incorporate UL tests that rate the impact resistance of roofing materials, and IBHS engineering and field experience using construction methods and materials that better protect structures from natural threats.
