Fire safety tips for your business:

• Be sure that your building address is clearly visible from the street.
• Place combustible waste materials in metal containers with tight fitting lids and remove it from the building daily or as it accumulates.
• Maintain the aisles leading to exits clear and unobstructed.
• Make sure exit doors are working properly, clearly marked and unobstructed.
• Periodically check and test exit signs, general exit lighting and emergency lighting to assure its proper operation.
• Regularly conduct fire drills involving all of your staff - be sure everyone knows what to do in case of a fire.
• Back up important data and copies of financial statements and records in a secure place away from the business. These records are invaluable in case of a fire when you have to recreate financial records.
