10 Fire Safety Facts in the Workplace

1. The Number of Fires in the Workplace are Surprising Accidents do happen, but people typically underestimate how common and easy they are to occur. In 2017, there were over 300 fires recorded per week in non-domestic (workplace) buildings. There were no injuries in any of these fires, and only a small percentage of them did not have a negative impact on business. 2. One of the Most Important Things You Can Do Is To Check Your Smoke Alarm. According to studies, over a quarter of the time when a fire starts, no one hears a smoke alarm, jeopardising the safety of those folks even more. Checking a smoke alarm on a regular basis will provide employees a better chance of surviving if the worst comes. Regularly means once a month for a working smoke alarm test and once or twice a year for new batteries. 3. When a fire breaks out, every second counts. The term "time is of the essence" is more appropriate than ever in a fire risk situation. To give the fire the least amount of time to spread, you and people around you must respond promptly and responsibly. 4. A fire action plan can help save lives in the event of a fire. When it comes to fire safety, organisational and planning abilities have never been more crucial. In the workplace, there must be a clear, succinct action plan that everyone knows. Any ambiguity could spell disaster, especially when it comes to escape options. 5. It's a big no-no to overload outlets. Plugging several high-energy devices into a socket is a recipe for disaster and has caused several fires. To reduce the risk of overheating, share your devices as much as possible between multiple outlets. 6. It's critical to put the right person in charge.
