What do you do when your fire suppression system, alarm, or sprinkler system are down or being repaired? What about when fire doors are being replaced? Building under construction? The power or water is out? Or pyrotechnics are going to take place?
What type of protection do you take?
What are the requirements mandated by local authorities and fire marshal?
How costly are the fines for not adhere to these regulations?
How liable is your business, if there is a fire?
In last weeks blog, we talked about how the presents of a Fire Watch Security Guard can help your business.
Spot any hazards materials
Look for early warning signs of a fire
Contact emergency authorities
Activate emergency protocols
Lead calm and safe evacuations
Secure the scene
After everyone is safely evacuated, it is the responsibility of the fire watch guard to coordinate with first responders and preserve safety.
Keeping people away from any dangerous areas
Protect sensitive areas and vital documents
Handing access keys or site maps to fire department personnel
Documenting the events and timeline for post incident reporting
The fire watch guards from Curtis Protective Services are chosen for the calm presence and ability to work well under pressure. They help reassure occupants and expedite a smooth transition when first responders arrive.
Do you know the fire watch guidelines and regulations in your jurisdiction? Failing to comply can lead to costly fines. In the long run a professional fire watch service is well worth the cost.
