Regular inspection and replacement of equipment, especially more frequently but within budget of the company is one way of staying ahead of the fire marshals’ requirements. Proper training and drills for employees should be done, both new hires and those who have been with the company a while. Keeping proper documentation of check, drills and equipment, and keeping it easy to find is also important. Aside from equipment and drills a clean work environment with clear halls and unblocked doorways especially emergency exist is a must, tripping hazards or blocked exits could be extremely dangerous in the event of an emergency, also areas around fire extinguishers and fire alarms should be clear for easy access.
