Know where to look for fire risks in the workplace.

Without awareness, care, and attention of everyone at work, a fire can start and spread in the workplace. What’s more, ill-preparation can cost lives. To help you better protect your employees, assets, and business, check out common causes of fires in the workplace and how to prevent them.
Electrical Faults
Overloaded circuits, lack of maintenance, bad workmanship, and old equipment can lead to dangerous sparks. Regular inspections can help avoid this accident waiting to happen. What’s more, your team can help prevent these sorts of fires by not overloading sockets, keeping wires tidy, and reporting any signs of faulty lines.
Human Error
Another common reason for fires in the workplace is down to human error, such as knocking liquid onto electrical equipment, burning food in the kitchen or spilling flammable or combustible liquids. Proper staff training can avoid many of these instances. Be sure to keep fire extinguishers in several locations around the workplace, too.
Arson
Many business owners get alarmed when they hear that arson is a common cause of workplace fires, however, it is indeed a relatively frequent occurrence. Factories and industrial estates are particularly prone to vandals. However, security cameras, secure fencing, and a water sprinkler system can help keep your business safe.
