Introduction
When it comes to fire safety in small business premises, many owners underestimate the risk. Whether it’s a retail shop, café, workshop, or food stall — fire can start from unattended appliances, faulty wiring, or improper storage of flammable goods.
Fire Safety Measures for Small Businesses
-
Place Fire Extinguishers in Accessible Locations
Install ABC-type extinguishers near entrances, kitchens, and storerooms. -
Train Staff to Use Extinguishers
Use the PASS method (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep) and conduct refresher training twice a year. -
Maintain Clean and Organized Workspaces
Boxes and paper clutter can fuel fire quickly — declutter regularly. -
Switch Off Cooking Equipment After Hours
Ensure all stoves, ovens, and gas valves are turned off after business hours. -
Monitor Refrigeration Equipment
Malfunctioning fridges or freezers can overheat and trigger electrical fires. -
Check Wiring in Older Shops
Get an annual inspection if your premises is more than 10 years old.
