Fire Prevention Week is this week – October 9-15. This is a good time to review your evacuation plan. Consider the following:
- Do employees know what to do if there is a fire?
- Do you have a plan on how you will notify employees to evacuate?
- Can everyone hear announcements or warnings?
- Are employees trained to use extinguishers?
- Do employee know where to gather to be accounted for?
- Are your extinguishers accessible?
- Are they checked monthly?
If any of these answers is not a “yes”, time to take action!
Fire does not occur only at home but anywhere else like office. Management should brief their employees regarding this matter in order to prevent fire from happening.
