Ensure Your Fire Extinguishers are Functioning
Fire extinguishers are essential fire suppression systems in commercial properties. As part of your fire safety checklist, ensure that you install your fire extinguishers in compliance with your local fire code. This may involve
- The fire extinguisher type depends on your industry,
- Height of the extinguisher installation
- The distance from potential danger
You must also confirm that your extinguishers are not expired and that there are always recent inspections. Examine each fire extinguisher for physical damage, including the canisters, hoses, and other components.
Prioritize Fire Sprinkler Systems
Fire sprinklers are also one of your first lines of defense when it comes to fire safety. For example, you should make sure:
- To consistently review the sprinkler heads, hoses, and control system.
- Your fire sprinklers are up to date, and the inspections are recent.
- The sprinkler heads are positioned at the correct distance from each wall, providing full coverage for the entire room.
- To evaluate the sprinkler heads and pipes to confirm there is no physical damage or leaks.
Replace the Batteries in Your Fire Alarm Systems
Fire detectors and alarm systems are among commercial buildings’ most common fire safety systems – in commercial buildings, including smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms. For instance, ensure that you examine the fire code for these detectors and alarms and correctly install them throughout your building. Remember to inspect each alarm for usefulness and replace the batteries where applicable.
