Rising numbers of shooting incidents and severe weather events pose risks for businesses in keeping employees and customers safe, as customer traffic returns after the pandemic's peak. Safety shelters, like the bulletproof and stormproof safe rooms from National Safety Shelters, provide a solution.
Retail businesses face some of the greatest risks of potential violence. A National Retail Federation survey found that more than 60% of store owners ranked violence as the number one threat to employees. Retail work has one of the highest risks for workplace violence, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics.
Compounding the risk of workplace violence is the rise in extreme weather events, driven in part by climate change, which increases the frequency and intensity of storms. Such events can cause infrastructure damage and expose customers and staff to danger when they are unable to leave a business' premises.
Safety shelters provide immediate and easy access to secure locations for everyone when violence or severe weather threatens a business, with no need to leave a building or even the immediate area.
National Safety Shelters manufactures customizable safe rooms that can be installed in virtually any location and are tested and rated to protect against threats as powerful as EF5 tornadoes and armor-piercing ammunition rounds.
"Our safety pods are all about reassuring people at a time when they're constantly dealing with so many concerns," said Dennis Corrado, president of National Safety Shelters.
"Shelters provide peace of mind, and at the end of the day, that feeling can make a difference," he added. "Your customers will be more comfortable about returning, and your staff will be confident that they're safe at work."
In turn, that can result in lower costs for a business, because better employee retention means less spending on recruitment and training. It also may improve employees' focus and engagement. More repeat business from customers also may reduce the need for advertising and promotions.
"A safety shelter is a long-term investment that will pay dividends for years, and not just financially," Corrado said. "Business owners can rest more easily knowing that they are protecting the employees and customers they care about."

Korea’s defense industry stands at a critical crossroads, as its export boom gives way to a new phase in which major overseas buyers are demanding local production and supply chains in their own markets. From K9 self-propelled howitzers and K2 battle tanks to Chunmoo multiple rocket launchers and air defense systems, Korean-made weapons have rapidly expanded their presence across Europe and other regions. The export boom has transformed the defense industry from a largely domestic-oriented sector into one of Korea’s emerging global growth engines. But the next stage may prove more challenging. Korean defense firms can no longer rely solely on their traditional strengths of competitive prices, fast delivery and proven manufacturing capabilities. As major customers increasingly demand technology transfers, local production and participation in their own defense industries, Korean companies are pushed to become not just arms exporters, but long-term industrial partners. That shift could determine whether the current K-defense boom develops into a sustainable global business or remains a t
Korea has emerged as a major player in the global defense market, with its domestically developed weapons systems gaining traction for their competitive prices, advanced technology and fast delivery. From artillery and tanks to fighter jets and missile defense systems, Korean defense companies are expanding their global footprint and reshaping the country’s position in the international arms industry. K9 Thunder The K9 Thunder is Korea’s flagship self-propelled howitzer and one of the country’s most successful defense export items. Designed to provide mobile, long-range artillery fire support for ground forces, the 155-millimeter system can rapidly move, fire and relocate, making it well-suited to modern, highly mobile battlefields. The K9 is now used or being introduced by a growing list of countries, including Poland, Australia, Egypt, India, Norway, Finland, Estonia and Turkey. Poland has emerged as its largest export customer under a major deal to reinforce its artillery capabilities in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Redback IFV The Redback is Hanwha Aerospace’s nex
Renault Korea’s flagship crossover, the Filante, looks imposing at first glance, but feels surprisingly agile behind the wheel. Its planted ride, refined cabin and better-than-expected fuel economy give the large crossover a distinctive mix of comfort and driving appeal. The Filante was driven for about 400 kilometers on a round trip between Seoul and Daejeon, covering a mix of urban roads and highways. Across the route, the crossover delivered a stable ride and impressive fuel efficiency, making a strong overall impression. The Filante shares some of its design cues with Renault Korea’s popular Grand Koleos SUV, but carries a more upscale and sportier character. Measuring 4,915 millimeters in length and 1,635 millimeters in height, it has a substantial presence. Yet its low, flowing roofline and floating rear spoiler give the large body a sleeker profile, blending elements of a sedan and an SUV. The difference becomes more apparent once the car gets moving. The Filante’s driving character can be summed up in one word: planted. Its E-Tech hybrid powertrain combines a 1.5-liter turbo
