Is Your Pickens County Business Prepared For A Fire?

Your employees are a part of your team and an essential asset to your business. You and your employees want to feel safe every time you walk through the doors, and to do that, you must know what to do in an emergency. Below are a few tips that can help you and your employees become more prepared for a fire. 

• Fire Plan: Make sure your employees know what to do if there is a fire. It's a good idea to have a fire drill once a year to keep employees updated on your protocol.  
• Have A Safety Officer: Designate one person as your office's fire prevention officer. Their duties should include calling 911 immediately, composing escape routes and meeting points for employees, as well as keeping all your office safety plans, equipment, and information up to date. 
• Evacuation Plan: If you work in a larger building, display fire evacuation plans in several places around your workplace. When developing the evacuation plan, account for employees who will need additional assistance.
