How To Create a Fire Escape Plan For Your Business

Your San Antonio, TX, business is likely a major investment, and doing all you can to protect the property, building and its contents from a fire can help you protect your bottom line. While maintaining fire safety equipment and electing safety chiefs for each department can help, creating a viable fire escape plan is valuable when it comes to keeping your employees and customers safe in the event of a sudden blaze. Creating a plan does not have to be difficult, and there are a few simple steps you can take to do so.

1. Map Your Building
The first step to creating a fire escape plan is to map out your building, either on paper or digitally. Mark all exits, stairways, elevators and fire escapes. If you have multiple departments in your building, create a plan that allows them a safe exit without having to travel far. Tracing a main emergency escape plan and then a second one as well can help prevent exit blockage during a fire.

2. Review the Plan With Employees
Informing your employees about the new fire safety plan can help them feel safer while on the job. Hold a safety meeting and discuss how each department should evacuate in case of a fire and which exits they should use. Calling in a fire mitigation and restoration company representative to help you explain your plan may help improve the productiveness of this kind of safety meeting.

3. Practice the Fire Escape Plan
Once you create your plan, it is wise to practice it with fire drills at least a few times a year. This can refresh your employees' memories when it comes to which exits to use and how to prevent accidents during an evacuation. The more familiar your employees are with the fire escape route, the calmer they may remain if a fire should break out, allowing them to leave safely.
