Fire Safety Tips for Commercial Buildings
These simple but critical tips help reduce fire risk and ensure your property stays compliant with safety regulations—every day, in every area of your facility.
Keep Extinguishers Accessible & Tagged
Ensure fire extinguishers are clearly labeled and never obstructed by furniture or storage.
Maintain Clear Exit Routes
Emergency exits must be free of clutter, with doors that open easily and signage that’s visible.
Avoid Power Strip Overload
Don’t overload outlets or chain extension cords. Spread devices across separate circuits.
Schedule Fire Inspections Annually
Stay compliant by conducting full inspections of alarms, extinguishers, and suppression systems each year.
Test Exit Lighting Monthly
Make sure emergency lights function properly and that exit signs remain visible during power loss.
Train Your Team Consistently
Run fire drills and extinguisher training at least once a year—more often for high-turnover environments.
