Although none of us like thinking about disasters occurring or want to consider the damage a fire might potentially cause to our commercial properties, being prepared is an absolute must if you want to make sure that the people within your building are safe. This means the correct fire extinguishers Hampshire need to be installed and staff need to be trained in fire safety procedures.
Fire awareness training covers one of the most important areas of safety in the workplace and by law all employees should be instructed appropriately in these fire safety measures. This training should form a vital part of employees' job descriptions as every member of staff must understand the risks associated with fire and how to conduct themselves safely and if a fire should break out in the workplace.
The person responsible for the building is required, by law, to conduct a fire risk assessment Hampshire as well as implementing and maintaining a fire management plan. A professional fire protection company can carry out this assessment to meet the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (fire safety) Order 2005.
This 'responsible' person also needs to manage the installation and maintenance of fire alarms and smoke alarms, the implementation of fire drills and emergency evacuation procedures as well as ensuring that fire extinguishers Hampshire and other fire safety equipment are installed in the correct place and suitably maintained.
By conducting a fire risk assessment Hampshire you ensure your workplace has the necessary fire protection in place - i.e. the right kind of extinguishers and safety signs positioned in the right place, a fully tested fire evacuation procedure and appointed fire marshals- you can relax knowing that if the worst happens you and your employees will be prepared.
Whatever your fire protection requirements, being prepared is the most vital part of your fire awareness strategy. You should ensure that all employees receive fire training, in using fire extinguishers Hampshire, when they first join the organisation and ensure that refresher courses are offered to keep everyone up to speed with what to do in the event of an emergency.
