Fire Safety: Establish an Evacuation Plan
An evacuation plan can be the difference between life and death for employees escaping a commercial business that has caught fire. You’ll want to ensure that all of your employees are well-equipped to understand where their closest fire evacuation route is in reference to their workspace. Every commercial building should post evacuation routes in highly visible locations, regularly discuss evacuation routes, and perform routine fire drills to prepare their employees in the event of an unexpected fire emergency.
Visible and Easily Accessible Fire Extinguishers
Besides posting evacuation routes for employees, you’ll want to have numerous fire extinguishers available in highly visible locations. While your employees should not be expected to control or contain a fire in the event of an emergency, a fire extinguisher can quickly put out a small fire that has started to develop. By placing fire extinguishers in visible and easily accessible locations, your employees can have peace of mind that there’s protection provided for them within their workplace.
