Everyone seems to
be catching holiday fever early this year! Unfortunately, many people will
still find themselves behind a desk while others are out absorbing the
sunshine.
Employers are urged
to make sure that if any employees are going to be at work over the holiday
season, the optimum fire protection measures are taken, especially if the
employer is going to be leaving the office for a holiday.
Here are the most
important tips to consider for workplace fire safety:
1. If you
have a Christmas tree set up, take all necessary safety precautions:
·
If it’s
a fresh tree, make sure someone waters it daily and keep the base of the tree
in water
·
Keep
all electrical items away from the tree
2. Make
sure your fire alarms are in working order. If your fire alarms are over 10
years old, replace them. Fire alarms are absolutely essential when it comes to
detecting the start of a fire in the work place.
3. Have an
emergency procedure in place in the case of a fire. Your fire escape plan
should be effective and building exits should not be blocked by any items. This
will ensure that your employees will be able to evacuate the building safely.
4. Make
sure all plugs and cords aren’t damaged and that extension cords are not
overloaded. Electrical fires are often very common during the holiday season,
especially when there are Christmas decorations around the office.
5. Employees
should not smoke inside. Smoking is one of the leading causes of fires;
therefore employees should definitely take their smoke breaks outside.
