Helpful Commercial Fire Safety Tips For The Business Owner

By Mark Mahaffey


As the owner of your business, you are certainly aware that a fire can do extensive damage to your office in just a few minutes. For those people who do not prepare and plan ahead for such emergencies, the loss could be very great. But if you are willing to heed a few commercial fire safety tips, you will increase the odds that you never suffer a bad fire in your business.

The most important commercial fire safety tip to keep in mind is the importance of installing a smoke detector. Often, a smoke detector can alert you to the presence of a fire in time for you to put out the fire before it does too much damage. Heat detectors are also helpful, as are sprinkler systems.

Clutter is the topic of the next commercial fire safety tip. It is not unusual for an office to have stacks of paper, files, boxes and other things lying about. The problem is that these are very flammable and will only make a small fire worse. Do the smart thing and clean up your office of clutter.

Another helpful commercial fire safety tip is to check the wiring of the appliances in your offices. Wiring can become worn with age and use, and when it does, it can catch on fire. It is a good idea to set aside a day once each year to have an electrician come in and check the wiring in your office. Any old wires can be replaced with safe, new ones.

Do you have a fire extinguisher in each room of your business? Fire extinguishers are a great way to stop small fires before they blaze out of control. Make sure that they are out in plain sight, and also make sure that your employees know how to use them. It would be a good idea to have a training session to teach all of your staff how to use fire extinguishers.

Prevention really is the best way to reduce the risk that you ever have to deal with the devastation of a bad fire in your business. Keep these tips in mind as you increase your fire security at your office!
