Most workplaces will have a number of hazards which will give a risk of fire which is unavoidable. It’s important to control these hazards, and replace them with less hazardous options if possible. It’s important to know exactly what you have to do in case of a fire, and the following tips should help minimise the damage done in such cases:
- Know exactly what your role is in case of a fire.
- Sound any fire alarm to alert other occupants so they can escape
- Go straight to the designated fire assembly area
- If you are trained right and know how to handle fires, use a portable fire extinguisher to fight the blaze. Make sure you choose the right extinguisher for the right fire.
- Take every fire drill seriously. They are put in place for a reason and can save lives.
