All fires need three elements to burn: Fuel, oxygen and a source of ignition. Consider those factors when evaluating your workplace — is it at risk for a potential fire? There are many types of fire hazards to keep in mind, and they can all result in devastating losses if not properly identified.
Everyone on the job is responsible for noticing potential fire risks and taking steps to ensure a safe workplace. By conducting a fire hazard assessment on a regular basis and implementing a fire prevention plan, you may be able to better identify those risks and reduce the chances of a fire at your business.
