Crucial Fire Protection Equipment
While no building is completely safe from a fire, proper fire protection equipment will significantly reduce the risk of an emergency. Every building needs a fire alarm system to warn occupants as soon as smoke is detected. There are many types of fire alarm systems to choose from, including systems with visual or audible alarms to catch the attention of all employees and customers in its range.
Emergency lighting is also essential in every office, as it helps to ensure all occupants make it out of the building safely. During a fire, there is a higher risk of the main power supply cutting out, but emergency lighting will stay on to lead occupants to safety.
Every company should also have at least one fire extinguisher, but it is smart to have multiple extinguishers around the office for ultimate protection. The number and type of fire extinguishers in your building will be determined by industry, office size, level of hazard, and local/national fire codes.
Preventative Maintenance
While installing fire protection equipment in your office is the first step, it’s crucial to perform regular maintenance to ensure everything is working correctly. After all, a fire alarm system is useless to your building if it does not work in the event of a fire. Essential preventative maintenance includes inspecting and testing the fire system, replacing old or ineffective parts, and servicing fire extinguishers. Preventative maintenance is always worth the investment, as the best way to deal with an emergency is to prevent it!
