If you are a business owner, the safety of your employees is in your hands. Ensure you are prepared with professional fire seals and safety equipment.
The first step to ensuring your workplace is a safe environment is to ensure that you have professional fire safety equipment in place. Once you have purchased fire seals and had them installed by a professional company there are other things to think about such as maintenance. You can schedule regular maintenance checks to ensure that your fire safety equipment is in working order.
Fire Seals-Do your Bit
Although the installation and maintenance is taken care of by professionals, it is imperative that you take a proactive role when it comes to fire safety. Observe your fire seals and extinguishers and make sure that your fire safety equipment is within easy reach. Your fire seals and extinguishers become useless if they are obstructed or inaccessible. Check your fire seals for any signs of damage and take action immediately if you find anything that could jeopardise the safety of your employees.
Fire related injuries can happen at any time and being prepared will help you to stay calm if a crisis arises.
• Ensure fire seals and extinguishers are located in the correct place.
• Ensure you put together a document stating the relevant safety guidelines for the workplace.
• Ensure employees are aware of the correct course of action in the event of a fire.
• Ensure your fire seals and equipment is regularly maintained.
• Conduct regular fire drills to practice the emergency procedure.
If in the event of a fire you find yourself in close contact with smoke or toxic fumes try to keep yourself and those around you calm. Try to keep as low to the ground as possible as smoke tends to gather at ceiling level. The floor space will not only provide better ventilation but also improved visibility.
