Is Your Greenville Business Prepared For A Fire? 

Not only are your employees part of your team, but they are also an essential asset to your business. You and your employees want to feel safe every time you walk through the doors, and to do that, you must know what to do in an emergency. The following tips can prevent you and your team from becoming injured in a fire and ensure that everyone is on the same page should a fire start in your workplace. 

• Fire Plan: Make sure your employees know what to do if there is a fire, including calling 911 immediately. Have a fire drill once a year to keep employees updated on your safety protocol.  
• Have A Safety Officer: Designate one person as your office's fire prevention officer. Their duties should include composing escape routes and meeting points for employees, as well as keeping all your office safety plans, equipment, and information up to date. 
• Evacuation Plan: If you work in a larger building, display fire evacuation plans in several places around your workplace. Account for employees who will need additional assistance when developing your evacuation plan.
