October is National Fire Safety Month and an excellent time to review fire safety both in workplace and at home. In a fire, seconds count. Seconds can mean the difference between escaping safely from a fire or having lives end in tragedy. This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme is “Every second counts, plan 2 ways out!”.
This presentation will discuss what you need to do to protect your workplace from fires and keep employees safe. As the head of his city’s Fire Prevention Office, he will address various aspects of fire safety in the workplace from what is required to what are good practices. He will also address fire safety in the home along with a discussion about smoke detectors and which ones are the most effective in their application.
