In the workplace, it is vital that you think carefully about the safety of your staff and any customers on site. A big part of this is fire safety.
Fire safety is probably part of your premises insurance and if you do not take it seriously you could be in trouble legally and you may be taken to court. If a fire does break out, it should be contained and there should be a fire procedure so that everybody, including your staff and any clients on site, can evacuate the building properly and safely. Having a proper fire plan also allows you to minimize the amount of damage caused on a property if a fire breaks out.
Having properly functioning fire extinguishers on your property should be part of your risk assessments and fire safety plan. These should be positioned in appropriate areas throughout the premises, such as by fire exits and in areas that fire can easily break out – like the kitchen. There should be the correct number of fire extinguishers on the property too.
You should also check that the extinguishers are properly mounted to the wall and that they do not have any bumps or scratches on them. If you notice anything that looks wrong about your fire extinguishers, you should contact a fire consultancy professional who will be able to repair or replace your fire extinguishers. They may also be able to visit you on a regular basis and ensure the fire extinguishers comply with all latest health and safety laws. This gives you, as a business manager, the peace of mind that your property is safe and there is a procedure in place if the worst should happen and a fire breaks out.
Training on the fire extinguishers may also be beneficial for your staff. Many people may think they know how to use a fire extinguisher but in reality they may not know the proper procedures, such as where to direct the fire extinguisher at the flames if a fire really does break out. Training can greatly improve your staff’s confidence and cool-headedness in the event of a fire.
By following these simple rules of fire safety and ensuring that your workplace is fully secured then you can be rest assured that in the unlikely event of a fire, you will have all the best equipment to help you. As they say, it is often better to be safe, than sorry.
