Be prepared for a fire in your workplace. Fires are potentially devastating occurrences, putting many businesses, especially restaurants, in jeopardy. Ensure that your workplace is properly protected against the possibility of a fire to cut down on accidents:
- Make sure smoke detectors are installed and have batteries.
- Make sure that fire extinguishers are present and properly charged. Ask your fire department, if necessary, to give you training on how to use a fire extinguisher.
- Plan your escape routes. Know where your nearest exits are and how employees can access them quickest.
