Basic principles of fire safety in the office

The key principles on which a fire safety system should be built in any office:

Prevention and prevention: the main principle is fire prevention. This is achieved through regular inspections of electrical equipment, a ban on the use of homemade extension cords, compliance with smoking rules and careful handling of flammable materials.

Employee awareness and training: all employees should be instructed and know how to act in case of fire. The evacuation plan, the location of fire extinguishers, and emergency telephone numbers should be accessible and understandable to everyone.

Availability of fire extinguishing equipment: the office must have fire extinguishers, and, depending on the area and specifics, automatic alarm and warning systems. All equipment must be regularly checked and maintained.

Ensuring safe evacuation: escape routes and exits must be clear, illuminated and marked. They should not be cluttered with furniture, boxes, or appliances. This is critically important in the event of a fire.

Responsibility and control: Each organization must have a fire safety officer who monitors compliance, conducts inspections, and interacts with the Ministry of Emergency Situations if necessary.
