What Is Fire Protection Safety?
Due to the nature of business, some industries and organizations are more susceptible to fires; fires are always a hazard in all workplaces. Thus, fire safety is essential for preventing injuries, fatalities, equipment, property, and inventory damage.
Fire protection safety is a set of rules and techniques designed to protect on-site staff and reduce the destruction caused by a fire. These practices can help prevent a potentially destructive fire or contain the damage caused by a fire after it has occurred. It includes employee escape plans and fire protection equipment, such as a fire sprinkler system and strategically placed extinguishers or portable fire extinguishers, as well as regular fire prevention strategies and equipment that reduce the chances of a fire starting in the first place.
