As we step into 2025, fire safety should remain a critical priority for business owners. A well-thought-out fire safety action plan not only safeguards lives but also protects property and ensures compliance with regulations. At Hartson Fire, we’re committed to helping you stay prepared. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating or updating your fire safety plan for 2025.
The foundation of a fire safety plan is understanding the risks.
In the workplace, you should conduct a thorough fire risk assessment. Pay attention to equipment, storage of flammable materials, and employee practices.
Consider hiring a professional fire safety expert to ensure nothing is overlooked.
Having the right fire protection equipment is essential.
Ensure fire extinguishers are installed in key locations, such as kitchens, garages, and near exits and other designated areas at work.
Test and service fire alarms and smoke detectors regularly. Replace batteries and verify they are in working order.
Tip: Hartson Fire offers comprehensive fire extinguisher servicing to ensure your equipment is always ready to perform.
Everyone should know what to do in case of a fire.
Map out evacuation routes, install visible exit signs, and assign fire marshals or wardens to guide staff during emergencies.
Practice fire drills at least twice a year to reinforce the plan.
Knowledge is a powerful tool in preventing and responding to fires.
Organise regular fire safety training sessions for employees, focusing on evacuation procedures, fire extinguisher use, and hazard prevention.
Fire safety is not a one-time task and you need to schedule annual reviews of your fire safety plan.
Stay updated on changes to fire safety regulations and ensure your plan aligns with them.
Replace or service outdated equipment and update evacuation routes as your space evolves.
Professional support can make all the difference.
