Fire And Fire In Office

Fire

Safety Guidelines and Emergency Procedures to prevent fires are the most important things for everyone to do. Everyone should know what to do if a fire occurs. Why?

Because fire is the most dangerous thing!

- Fire produces heat which can cause burns and injury. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

- Fires produce smoke and toxic gases such as carbon monoxide and cyanide which can cause suffocation and poisoning

- Fire can cause serious damage to property, buildings, and possessions. This can weaken the structure and cause collapse.

- Fires, especially forest fires, can significantly impact the environment. They can destroy habitats, cause air pollution, and contribute to climate change.

- Certain materials may explode if exposed to fire, causing injury and increasing the spread of fire

- Psychological impacts will occur on people who witness and those affected by the fire. The victims will feel anxious, stressed, and traumatized.

Knowledge about fire we should know:

- Fire Science and Theory

- Tactics to extinguish fire

- Ways to use equipment: PPE, SCBA, hose, foam, water, and more

- Ways to handle injuries and trauma

Some ways to deal with fires are:

- Having smoke detectors, alarms, and fire extinguishers

- Knowing the evacuation routes

- Using Fire Protection to protect the building

Fire In Office

Fire in the office can have a negative impact on a company. In addition to the potential for death and property loss, employees will lose their jobs, lose essential services, and more.

Important actions to protect the office from fire:

- Ensure that cables, electricity, machines, and equipment are not damaged

- Keep all items that can burn away from electricity

- Don't leave any hot devices unattended

- Place Safety Procedures in every room in the building

- Ensure the alarm works properly

- Ensure Fire Extinguishers can be used

- Provide training to employees to save themselves, extinguish fires, and carry out the Evacuation Process

Things to do if a fire occurs at the office:

- When a fire occurs, usually an alarm will sound. If the alarm does not sound, activate the alarm to provide information to everyone in the building that a fire is occurring.

- Self-save from danger by carrying out the Evacuation Process: Immediately leave the office via the nearest exit. Use the stairs, don't use the elevator!

- At the outside the building, count the number of employees and ensure that everyone is outside

- Contact Emergency Services and Fire Team

- Do not re-enter the building until the Fire Team has finished extinguishing the fire and given permission for everyone to re-enter the building

Therefore, all employees and management in the company must have knowledge of the Safety Procedures which contain:

- Actions that must be taken to self-save when a fire occurs

- Evacuation Process, Evacuation Routes, Assembly Points, and others
