Basic Fire Safety Awareness Course (20 of 20)

General Fire Safety Tips
  • Always ensure fire doors are not wedged open by items such as wooden wedges or extinguishers.
  • Ensure that any combustible materials (paper, cardboard) are kept away from heat producing equipment (hot lights, electric heaters, toasters, boilers).
  • Ensure that any combustible storage (especially high level) on racks is not within approximately 500mm (1/2 a metre) of any hot lights.
  • Ensure that all escape routes & walkways are kept clear of any trip hazards or items that may fall over and block an escape route.
  • Always report any fire safety concern to your fire warden or manager - however minor you may feel it is.
