store enables us to readily share our collective knowledge of over
100 years of loss prevention expertise with anyone who would like a
deeper understanding of how to better protect their property,
operations or assets." "More than a hundred years ago, XL GAPS'
predecessor, the Factory Insurance Association, played a
significant role in the founding of the National Fire Protection
Association and throughout the century our risk engineers have
worked with NFPA and other industry organizations to improve safety
standards. As a result, we have amassed a deep understanding of
fire prevention and other safety standards and regulations," said
Mr. Heinze. "A major component of our service culture is to share
our knowledge through coaching and training. Our online store
enables anyone to easily access loss prevention information and
tools to help them navigate through the gray areas of safety codes
and standards." The XL GAPS store can be accessed at

computations). The store also provides access to on-site training
registration for XL GAPS courses focused on industry standards such
as NFPA 25 -- the Inspection, Testing and Maintenance of
Water-Based Fire Protection Systems. This course can also be

basic industrial property loss prevention. XL GAPS provides
