Fire Safety Precautions

Fire is a deadly weapon. It can kill and injured many lives at once. It can even destroy once wealth. Prevention is better than cure. So we have to adopt some fire safety precautions to avoid the accident and to save many lives.

  1. Emergency Planning: While designing any blueprint of building it is necessary to have an emergency exit. So always plan according to safety, not greed. The emergency plan should be applicable. It should be described to every linked individual in the building so that in case of an emergency they don’t have any problem in executing the plan. There should be a written evacuation procedure. There should be a fire drill from time to time to keep employees aware and active.
  2. Fire Alarms and detectors: A building must have fire alarms and smoke detectors. So that we get to know about the fire in initial situations and thee should be less loss to lives and property. Make sure the fire alarms and detectors are repaired or checked monthly.
  3. Evacuation: While designing an emergency exit plan, make this in the mind that everyone should able to access it. Most disabled people find a challenging situation during such an emergency. To help and identify the need of disabled people you should create personal emergency evacuation plans (PEEP). For regular visiting places like Hotels, some standard PEEPs can be created for an emergency.
  4. Fire extinguishers: Fire extinguisher is used in emergency fire situations to control fire. It is important to have on every floor of your house. But the most important thing is a thorough knowledge of how to use it. Most of the time, people do have fire extinguishers, but the only thing they lack is its proper usage. So, if the fire is at an early stage, only then use fire extinguishers.

 

It is necessary to adopt fire safety precautions while designing a building. It is always the first preference. The risk of fire is at every place so we have to always be cautious about it. I just think this article helps you to adopt the precautions so as there should no harm to lives, property, and wealth.
