A proper evacuation plan is something that all businesses need to have in place. All members of staff need to familiarise themselves with fire procedures and fire wardens need to be on hand to provide guidance and to make sure safety plans are followed to the letter. Of course, all of this rests on the proper detection of fire situations, something businesses can rely on high quality electrical systems for.
Evacuation procedures take their cue from fire alarm systems which are designed to alert those on site as soon as a fire risk has been detected. Risk assessment and fire alarm testing are legal requirements and if they are not carried out then the company in question will be seen to have failed in its basic obligations to members of staff and the surrounding community.
It’s not just a matter of installing quality fire detection systems. It’s also about making sure that those systems are maintained. Planned maintenance is a commercial essential because it leaves nothing to chance. Emergency maintenance is something that good electrical contractors supply as and when it is needed.
