Fire Safety Checks To Make Today

Fire safety should be treated as a priority for any business. You want to ensure that in the case of a fire, all employees in the building know what to do and have both access and training to safety features that will keep them safe. It is therefore important to carry out regular fire safety checks, to ensure your protection in the case of a fire.

Here are some fire safety checks to make today.

Fire Drills

A great way to test your employees know what they’re doing in the event of a fire is with a fire drill. This can be either planned or unplanned, but should always be treated as if there is a serious fire. You can make note of whether they know what fire escape routes to take and the speed at which they evacuate.

You can also throw in certain scenarios they have to deal with, such as what happens if a fire is outside a door or to find the nearest fire extinguisher. Then after the fire drill, you can offer feedback on what went well and what can be improved on for the next time.

Equipment Testing

You should already have a range of fire safety equipment installed on your property, and if you don’t this is something that should be dealt with as a priority. But once you have this equipment installed, you can’t just leave it and hope it will work when the time comes. It is best to carry out regular inspections on your equipment, such as testing if the fire alarm system is working or whether your fire sprinklers are connected.

For equipment that you can’t test yourself, you should always hire a professional to do it for you. This will ensure that you know all of your equipment is working properly and this is guaranteed by a professional who specialises in doing this.
