Consistency is Key for Fire Prevention

As a businessowner, you know that one fire could destroy everything you’ve worked for, potentially leading to devastating consequences for you, your employees, business operations, and the clients and community you serve.

What actions do you regularly take to help keep your business flame-free?

Fire Prevention Safety Checklist: Consistent use of a fire prevention safety checklist can be an easy way to reduce hazards at your workplace. Examples of questions to ask yourself include:

• Is your fire extinguisher marked, properly recharged, and regularly serviced?
• Are heat-producing pieces of equipment and appliances properly used and maintained?
• Do your electrical plugs, power strips, switches, and cords meet standard operating codes and are they in good repair?

Regular Business Walkthroughs: Conducting regular walkthroughs of your business to ensure everything is in safe working order can help you catch potential risks. It also sets a great example to your employees that staying vigilant for fire hazards and taking action right away is everyone’s responsibility.
