4 FIRE SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WORKPLACE

Workplace fires are something every business should take seriously. They cost companies millions of dollars in terms of repairs, damaged equipment and lost revenue. Here we are sharing 4 fire safety tips for the workplace. A fire audit is very important in the corporate world. In fact, it is mandatory to do a safety audit and implement the safety plan to avoid the risk of fire accidents by doing a series of fire safety programs weekly, fortnightly, or monthly depending on the size of the office building and also covering every single room in that office.

1. INSTALL FIRE DETECTION SYSTEMS

Safety is one of the most important aspects of running a business. One of the best ways to keep people safe is to install fire detection systems in businesses. Unfortunately, this type of safety device isn’t required in all businesses. But, if you do have fire detection systems installed then it’s important that employees learn how to use them. In today’s post, I’ll dive into why you need fire detection systems and how to train employees on how to operate them properly.

2. INSTALL EMERGENCY LIGHTING

Emergency lighting is often an afterthought, but it shouldn’t be. Having emergency lighting in place is crucial if you need to evacuate your building quickly. As well as full emergency lighting that covers every part of the building, it should be possible for someone to find their way out even if things go wrong and the power goes off. Ideally the entire route through a building should be emergency.

3. KNOW FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.

Fire extinguishers are a very important safety device for your business, no matter how large or small. You should be equipped with several fire extinguishers so that you could use the fire extinguisher that is most suitable to put out a fire, depending on the kind of fire you are trying to put out.

4. PREPARE AN EMERGENCY PLAN.

Fire is one of the most serious issues that a company has to deal with, whether it's a large corporation or a small business office. An emergency evacuation plan should be created by the owner of the company and communicated with employees. Employees who work in close proximity of each other need to ensure everyone knows where to gather and how they'll be evacuated from the building safely.
