Preventing fires before they ignite – a must-have manual for daily fire safety knowledge in companies
Fire safety may seem distant, but it is closely related to everyone’s work and life. A fire often originates from an overlooked detail or a lucky mentality. In the office environment of the company, with dense personnel, numerous electrical equipment, and piled up paper documents, the fire hazard cannot be underestimated.
Today, let’s learn together about the fire safety knowledge that can save lives in critical moments when not needed in daily life, adding an extra layer of security for ourselves and our colleagues.
1、 The ‘invisible killer’ in the workplace: common fire hazards
Many people think that fires are far away from them, but in fact, the fire hazards in the office are right beside us:
1. Overload and aging of electrical equipment
The power strip is used in series, connecting multiple devices such as computers, water dispensers, chargers, heaters, etc. to one socket at the same time
Aging of wires and failure to replace insulation layer in a timely manner
Failure to turn off the power of devices such as computers and printers after work, resulting in prolonged standby time
2. Violation of electricity usage regulations
The use of high-power appliances (such as electric heaters, water kettles, and small electric pots) has not been reported
Connecting wires privately and randomly, the wiring is disorderly and disorganized
The charger remains plugged into the socket for a long time without being unplugged
3. Accumulation of flammable materials
Waste paper, cardboard boxes, and documents are stacked in corners or passages
The clutter under the desk is piled up, blocking the power socket
Improper storage of flammable cleaning agents, disinfectants, etc
4. Blockage of fire exits
The safety exit is blocked by debris or office furniture
The normally closed fire door is opened with bricks and wooden sticks
Stacking express delivery, samples, and other items on evacuation routes
5. Lack or failure of fire-fighting facilities
Fire extinguisher expired, insufficient pressure
Fire hydrant obstructed, water hose missing
