performing checks on installed fire protection and safety gadgets and accessories
that are in the building. Thus ensuring their proper functioning.
Fire drills gives your
employees an opportunity to practice emergency procedures in a safe and
simulated environment. This help improves employee’s response to emergency
situations and help you determine the effectiveness of your plan – each facility
has its own unique plan.
How often you perform
your drills is dependent on the frequency of such occurrence at your work
place, the chance of a fire starting and also difficulty level. E.g. High rise
buildings are more difficult to evacuate than lower ones.
A 6-month periodic fire drill is recommended to meet
up with your local fire code.
