A fire safety plan will prepare the occupants in the building what to do in case of a fire.
A fire safety plan is a detailed document that covers all aspects of fire safety for a specific building or property. The plan will outline:
- A safe and orderly way for occupants to evacuate the building.
- Proper maintenance and housekeeping required to prevent fires.
- Methods of control that minimize the damage from fires when they do occur.
Fire safety plans are often required by your local Fire Code, especially for certain buildings and occupancy rates. Check with your jurisdiction, municipality, or local fire department for further information. Some municipalities and/or fire departments may prefer that a template or standard format be used by all businesses in their area to help when they must respond to emergencies.
