Fire prevention

Create a fire-free zone.

Regularly inspect all fire extinguishers. Keep work areas clear of debris and trash. Designate no-smoking areas and enforce no-smoking rules. Store flammable fuels and materials in approved fire cabinets. Check wiring, cords and electrical tools for defects and proper grounding. Make sure extension cords aren’t placed under carpets. Don’t plug extension cords or portable heaters into surge protectors.

Knowing how to eliminate fire hazards will help decrease the chances of a fire.

And that’s smart safety!
