Fire Safety

A business fire can cause significant damage to buildings, materials, and interiors, as well as distress to your staff. Preventing fires is therefore crucial.

To properly implement fire safety in your business, it is important to assess potential hazards. For these types of tasks, you should hire a fire watch.

“Matters related to securing buildings deserve all attention.”

Particularly, issues related to installation and building matters deserve attention. It often turns out that there are problems, such as inadequate or untested fire extinguishers, incorrect or absent escape route signage, and inaccessible emergency or escape doors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The main difference between a firefighter and a fire watch is that a firefighter is responsible for fighting fires and providing assistance in emergencies, while a fire watch is hired, either individually or as a team, to monitor a building or location to prevent or detect fire hazards.

A firewatch can also be hired for fire prevention during construction and demolition work, welding and hot work, or events involving open flames. The responsibilities of a firewatch include monitoring activities to prevent fires, intervening in unsafe situations, providing first aid, and offering advice on fire safety.

Fire watchers are deployed in locations with an increased risk of fire, such as construction sites, festivals, or events. They are trained to identify, report, and respond to potential fire hazards in case of an emergency. They have the necessary equipment and training to extinguish small fires and, in some cases, can assist with evacuating people.
