General tips for a fire-safe workplace:
• Practice good workplace housekeeping. Clutter contributes to fires by providing fuel and by preventing access to exits and emergency equipment.
• Help maintain building security to prevent arson fires. Lock up as instructed; report suspicious persons; and don’t leave combustible rubbish where it can be set afire outside the building.
• Smoke only in designated areas, and extinguish smoking materials safely. Never smoke in storerooms or chemical storage areas.
• Finally, take time to locate the closest fire extinguisher to your work area.
