Save your commercial property from fire by employing these safety tips

It is vital to maintain the fire safety protocols in your commercial building. Proper fire safety gives an added level of protection for your records, merchandise, tools, equipment, and the building, not to mention the protection of your employees and customers. Take time to maintain the following:
Fire Alarms
Fire Alarms are critical to the safety of your commercial building, employees, and customers against fire. Inspect your fire alarm at least once a year. Make sure it is in proper working condition.
Emergency Lights and Exit Signs
If there is a fire, many times, it can cause panic. Smoke will make it difficult to see or breathe even if you are familiar with the building. Emergency lights are essential because they come on when the main power supply is unavailable. Make sure exit signs are over the doors. These lights should be tested regularly.
Fire Extinguishers
Commercial properties are required for commercial properties. They should be mounted on the walls and accessed easily. Make sure that your employees understand how to use a fire extinguisher. It is important to have them inspected regularly.
Fire Sprinkler/Standpipe Systems
Many commercial properties have sprinkler systems. They work when the building is hot. They turn on to extinguish larger fires. These systems should be maintained by licensed inspectors and be tested monthly.
