Business owners always seem to have too much on their plates. It can make it easy to overlook something as important as commercial fire safety. However, if a fire ever takes place in your business and spirals out of control, it could be devastating for your company. Here is a checklist that you should run through every so often to make commercial fire safety more of a priority.
Is your commercial fire alarm system in good working order?
Your business should, first and foremost, have a commercial fire alarm system installed in it. However, simply installing a system isn’t enough. You also need to have it inspected regularly and maintain it so that you know it’s in good condition. Additionally, you should get into the habit of testing it every so often to ensure that it works the way it’s supposed to.
Are your employees trained on what to do in the event of a fire?
If a fire were to break out in your business today, would your employees know how to react? Your employees should know exactly what to do if a fire ever starts in your business. From knowing where fire extinguishers are located to knowing how to evacuate your building safely, you should talk to your employees about fire safety at least several times throughout the year.
Do you need to make any repairs or do any maintenance to your electrical system?
Outside of maintaining the fire alarm system in your commercial building, you also need to maintain your electrical system. If your electrical system is on the older side, it could put your building at an increased risk for a fire. By bringing in an electrician to inspect and maintain your electrical system over time, you can cut down on the chances of an electrical fire starting in your building.
