Fire Safety for Your Business

Workplace safety should be high on the list of any employer, and fire safety is a big piece of the puzzle. There are a few steps you should take to make sure that your business is properly prepared for a fire, and that the necessary fire protection instruments are in place.

First, it's crucial that you have a risk assessment done to locate potential trouble spots or risks. Any potentially dangerous items noted in the risk assessment should be fixed as soon as possible.

Next, an evacuation plan should be developed that takes into account where someone is sitting and where the nearest exits are. One evacuation route is not one-size-fits-all in a large office. Back-up plans should also be developed in the event that the original plan isn't able to be followed during an emergency.

Finally, train your employees on the proper usage of fire extinguishing tools, and appoint a few people to lead an evacuation should one be necessary. And take fire safety and prevention very seriously; prevention is always less expensive than the damage you'll likely have to repair.
