It is an ethical responsibility to keep your employees safe at the workplace. Even if it is a small business, you are legally obligated to follow fire safety laws.

1. Fire Sand

Fire extinguishers are not always available, so it is important to know other ways to put out a fire. One technique used to smother a fire involves sand and a bucket. A fire-sand bucket is a steel bucket filled with sand. While this is a low-tech method of fighting a fire, it is usually very effective.

3. Fire extinguisher

Fire extinguisher, portable or movable apparatus used to put out a small fire by directing onto it a substance that cools the burning material, deprives the flame of oxygen, or interferes with the chemical reactions occurring in the flame.

Once you have installed fire extinguishers, it must be kept in good working order. It is not acceptable for fire extinguishers to be left unchecked and untested. Make sure that you follow the recommended testing and inspection schedule from the extinguisher’s manufacture, and document those inspections.

Fire extinguishers should not be used by people who have not been trained. Before undertaking a fire with a fire extinguisher make sure you or someone else has sounded the fire alarm and that you have a safe evacuation path.
