Fireproofing professionals often work on construction sites as part of a larger crew and coordinate with other trades to ensure seamless workflow. Daily responsibilities also include maintaining strict safety standards, proper use of protective equipment, and regularly checking the quality of applied coatings. Depending on the project phase, days may vary between hands-on installation, site preparation, and progress inspections.
