If you are a business owner or a property manager, there are general fire safety tips you should know, below you will find some of the most common fire system tips that can help you in case of a fire or an emergency.
The Fire Suppression System
Fire Detection. Fire Suppression.
The goal of any fire suppression system is to detect fire as soon as it starts and immediately suppress it, preventing the fire from spreading.
If you manage a building such as a restaurant for example, installing a fire suppression system in the kitchen is required in order to suppress any fires in case they happen. There are many types of fire suppression systems. The system design will vary based on the asset needing protection and the type of fire hazard. These systems are designed in two variants, automatic and manually based systems. Automatic systems have active detection to sense fires and while manual systems are enabled by pulling down a lever.
The Importance of Exit Lighting
Lighting the Way to Safety
Ensuring that occupants of a building have a way out in case of a fire or power outage is essential.
Emergency lighting and exit signage are an important part of a building's evacuation plan in case of an emergency. These lighting fixtures enable the occupants to have a safe and smooth evacuation from a building. If it is not a fire, but a power outage, the emergency batteries keep the signs illuminated to light corridors, doors, hallways, and other passageways in the dark.
