What To Include In Fire Safety Procedures? There are several features that must be included in your fire safety procedures. With our training, an effective plan and procedure can be put in place for every business and every building. If you require a fire safety procedure, KBM Fire Safety Services are happy to help all businesses throughout Devon and the surrounding areas.
Fire Safety Responsibility Creating a fire safety procedure is necessary for most commercial properties. If you are the owner, employer, landlord or occupant in the property and have control of the property, then you are a responsible person' when it comes to creating a fire safety procedure and completing fire risk assessments.
In many cases, there can be more than one responsible person within the property and in this scenario, you must work together to create the fire safety instructions required. Fire safety plans and procedures must be reviewed regularly to ensure they still offer the highest level of safety for you and any staff members within the building.
Risk Assessments Your risk assessments are different to your fire safety procedures as these are used to identify and remove risks on a regular basis. There are several fire safety risks that could be found in your property and you should always look to remove the risk. If this is not possible, having safety equipment available can reduce the risk.
Our team can always help your business carry out fire risk assessments to identify all risks, reduce this risk and also put an effective plan in place if the risk was still to occur.
What To Include There is a huge range of items and instructions you should include in fire safety procedures and plans, however, the choice is ultimately up to you to find the safest plan for you and your property. Just some of the information you can include within your fire safety procedure includes:
A Clear Passageway to All Escape Routes A Safe Meeting Point for Staff Clearly Marked Escape Routes That are as Short & Direct as Possible Emergency Doors That Open Easily Emergency Lighting Where Needed Enough Exits & Routes for All People to Escape Training for All Employees to Know & Use the Escape Routes Your fire safety plan can be reviewed on a regular basis to make any necessary changes as well as providing training for any new employees. If you are taking in new staff members, they should immediately be made aware of your fire safety procedure and the equipment and features you have in place to reduce the risk of a fire.
There are several things you should consider to ensure a fast evacuation of the property regardless of when a fire occurs. Including clear instructions will reduce any possible risks in case of a fire.
Legal Requirements There are several things to consider but you still have a great deal of flexibility with your fire safety procedure. However, there are some legal requirements to ensure your fire safety plan meets requirements and fire prevention measures for safety within the premises.
Fire safety procedures regularly check commercial properties and if action is required due to fire safety being inadequate, enforcement, alterations and prohibition notices can be given.
