Why is lightning protection so important?

The function of an external lightning protection system is to intercept, conduct
and disperse a lightning strike safely to earth. Without such a system a building's structure, electronic systems and the people working around or within it are all at risk.

There are many ways in which lightning strikes can cause damage or injury. Lightning strikes (or even electrical discharges due to nearby lightning) can cause fires, explosions, chemical release or mechanical disruption within or around a building. Step and touch voltages generated from a lightning strike can cause injury, or even loss of life, to humans (and animals) in the close vicinity.

At Furse, we are fully aware that all these risk need to be considered and protected against when developing a lightning protection system. With over 100 years of experience our support and expertise has assisted thousands of businesses, both
large and small, to achieve effective protection against lightning.
