How often should fire extinguishers be inspected and serviced?
Fire extinguishers should be inspected monthly to ensure they are in proper working order. In addition, they must undergo a professional service and maintenance check at least once a year, or more frequently if required by local regulations or usage conditions.
What are fire doors, and why do I need them?
Fire doors are specially designed doors that help prevent the spread of smoke and fire throughout a building. They are essential for protecting escape routes, ensuring that occupants can safely evacuate in the event of a fire, and limiting damage to property. Regular inspections and maintenance are necessary to ensure fire doors perform as intended.
How do I know if my building is fire code compliant?
To determine if your building is fire code compliant, you should conduct a fire risk assessment and have a fire protection expert perform a thorough inspection. This will ensure that all safety measures, such as fire alarms, sprinklers, fire doors, emergency exits, and fire extinguishers, meet the requirements set by local and national fire codes.
What should I do if I discover a fire hazard in my building?
Passive fire protection (PFP) refers to the use of fire-resistant materials and design strategies to prevent the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building. Examples include fire-rated walls, fire doors, and fire-resistant insulation. PFP helps contain a fire, allowing more time for evacuation and minimizing overall damage.
How often should fire drills be conducted?
Fire drills should be conducted at least twice a year to ensure that employees and occupants know how to respond in the event of a fire. More frequent drills may be necessary for certain businesses, such as those with high-risk operations or large numbers of people.
