At Alcom, we are all about protection, but the best thing would be to prevent a fire from breaking out of your business. We’ve assembled some tips to help some common tips to help prevent fires.

Housekeeping

Keeping a clean (work) house is key. Ensuring dust, hazards, and garbage is removed every day prevents hazards that can cause fires in companies.

Training

Clean desk policies, and a culture of tidiness will impact fire protection. If a company has a culture of cleanliness, this helps everyone out. On the other hand, if employees are used to piling paper boxes in front of outlets, that is a recipe for disaster.

Inspection

Performing a monthly health and safety inspection is a good idea for the larger good of the company. Having a separate set of eyes, not used to how things are normally done, is a good way of pointing our hazards that everyone else is used to.

As well, inspect your firefighting equipment to ensure you have support when needed.
