Although there is always a risk of a fire starting, winter brings particular fire safety issues that business owners need to address. Winter is the season with the most fires, according to The National Fire Protection Association. This is why, in addition to the other times of the year, you should make sure you are vigilant during the winter. Here are some helpful suggestions for your company's fire safety.

1. WINTER FIRE
SAFETY TIPS
Check Electrical Wiring
Test Smoke Alarms
Be Careful Using Space
Heaters
Have Enough Fire
Extinguishers
Faulty electrical wiring is a
frequent contributor to
commercial fires. Electrical
wiring that is older than the
building itself is a safety risk
in older buildings.
Always make sure your smoke alarm
batteries are updated and have
enough power to get you through
the winter. Smoke alarms should
always be installed in high traffic
areas like lobbies, offices, and
kitchens. You should also replace any
outdated fire alarms.
Space heaters are one of the
main wintertime causes of
house fires, but when they
are used at work, they can
also be dangerous to
commercial buildings.
In a business, you can never
have too many fire
extinguishers. It is advised to
place several ABC
extinguishers all around your
area.
