About Industrial Fire Prevention

Fires occur every day in business facilities across the country. Each year they kill over 5,000 people, injure more than 80,000 and cost industry over $11 billion dollars.

To the individual employee, fire can mean personal injury, injuries to co-workers, loss of work time (due to injury or damage to the facility) or even death.

All of which can effect work situations, as well as personal lives, dramatically. However, most industrial fires can be prevented.

They are generally caused by employees not having sufficient knowledge about fire or its causes, disregarding work procedures or using poor judgment.

Also, most employees are not adequately prepared to deal with fire should it occur. They are not clear as to what, if any, actions they should take in their work areas.

Frequently they do not know what their evacuation routes are, or what safeguards to take when leaving their area.
