  • Take time each month to inspect your Ohio fire suppression systems and fire extinguishers to make sure they are working properly and are up to code.
  • Create and practice an evacuation plan. Be sure the routes are posted where employees and customers can see them. When practicing the evacuation plan, be sure everyone understands their responsibilities.
  • Fire safety also includes taking care of your computer and electronics. Be sure that you are giving breathing room to computer and electrical equipment so that they do not overheat. Take care to not crush cords under or between furniture and, as much as feasible, unplug electronics when not in use.
  • Become a smoking-free business or have a designated area with trashcans designed for disposing of the cigarette butts.
  • Increase fire safety by placing fire extinguishers throughout your business and schedule regular inspections by a licensed inspector. Also, have people within your company who have been trained to know how to properly use the extinguishers.
