Fire Management is one of the crucial elements that are dangerous to ignore when you have a business or owning a home, because they can put people’s lives at risk. Ensuring safety during a fire breakout starts by having safety measures in place such as the Fire Emergency Evacuation Plan. It is, therefore, very important to prevent fire before it can even start by implementing fire safety solutions.
There are fire management systems that need to be considered when you are a business or homeowner that can help you reduce the risks of fire. Prana FM is a professional Fire Protection Company that helps organizations to implement fire safety solutions such as Smoke Detectors, Fire Curtains, and Handheld Fire Equipment.
Why is Fire Emergency Evacuation Plan important?
A fire Emergency Evacuation plan (FEEP) is a written document which includes the action to be taken by all staff in the event of fire and the arrangements for calling the fire brigade. It can include any relevant information in relation to the FEEP. Every company should have an Emergency Evacuation Plan that includes the General Fire Notice and Staff Fire Notice displayed in public for everyone to familiarize themselves with.
It is important to plan for any emergency such as fire to avoid possible damage. An emergency plan has information about the duties of relevant people needed to partake in the event of any emergency. It should also describe what to do when an emergency occurs.
Prana FM assist organizations to assess their buildings and create a well written Fire Emergency Evacuation Plan and explain what needs to be done in the event of a fire alarm being raised. For instance, Prana FM will inform their clients about the location of fire alarm call points, extinguishers, exits and details of nominated employees along with their areas of responsibility.
We take it seriously and important to help train employees of our clients to ensure that they are familiar with the emergency plan. Companies should perform a fire drill at least twice a year because this will ensure that the plan works and that employees can follow it. We will work with our clients to correct any problems found during the drill.
The need for escape routes
Prana FM makes sure that instructions about the means of escape are displayed and our clients should easily identify them. We ensure that our clients and employees get proper training on how to escape in the event of an emergency. Properties should ensure that there are enough exits through the building, and that they are in the right places. This will guarantee that in the event of a fire, the building has at least one free route available.
The type and size of exits depend on the number of people likely to use them during an evacuation. Escape routes must be adequately illuminated and free of any obstacles. You should do daily checks to ensure this.
Fire Safety Solutions
Prana FM provides a method such as a fire detector system for detecting a fire quickly and raising the alarm. The warning system, when it has been set off from any point, should be clearly heard throughout the premises. It should provide enough warning for people to evacuate the building safely.
We ensure to provide clear instructions/ notices teaching how to operate the warning system, and how to respond to it. Additionally, it’s important all fire safety measures are maintained and regularly tested. You should test your fire alarms weekly.
Lastly, it is important to regularly check the batteries of fire detectors and ensure that fire extinguishers are serviced annually. Displaying the Fire Emergency Evacuation Plan in public for everyone to see it could save people’s lives. Prana FM encourages companies to prevent fire risks to avoid catastrophes. We pride ourselves for the good service that our clients get.
