According to the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), there are nearly 8,000 eating and
drinking establishment fires reported annually. A fire can devastate your
business, leading to lost revenues and possible permanent closure. It should
come as no surprise that cooking and human error are the leading causes of
fires. Although you cannot always avoid a fire from occurring, there are steps
you can take to minimize loss and protect your staff.
1) Implement
a fire safety program, including an evacuation plan, and review it with staff
quarterly.
2) Keep
your fire suppression system up to code.
3) Keep
portable fire extinguishers on hand, and train staff on proper use of
extinguishers.
4) Uphold
good housekeeping practices, avoid grease buildup, and properly store flammable
liquids.
Prevention and
preparedness are essential when dealing with a fire; they can be the difference
between complete devastation and minimal loss.
