If a fire should break out in your restaurant, what would you do? Restaurant hoods and other fire protection equipment are crucial to saving lives and protecting your property. But the equipment alone is not enough. The key is not to panic but instead rely on your emergency fire plan. AllFire Services wants you, your employees, and your customers to be safe at all times. That’s why we offer Carolina fire protection services in Charlotte, Rock Hill, and surrounding areas. If you don’t have a restaurant fire safety plan in place, here’s what you need to know to get started:
- Why do you need a restaurant fire safety plan? – If there’s a fire, you need to be ready to get people out quickly and safely. By being prepared, you can be a strong leader and help others stay strong and calm during the crisis.
- Provide emergency training. – Teach and re-teach your employees about fire safety strategies. Tell them the importance of a restaurant hood. Show them the proper care and storage for grease and other flammable objects in a kitchen. Knowledge is power and it’s the first step toward building a strong emergency plan.
- Train your staff to shut down the restaurant. – Train one or more people on how to quickly shut down your restaurant in the event of an emergency. This will protect people and can help keep a fire from spreading.
- Memorize your evacuation plan. – Study up on your evacuation plan, then practice, practice, practice! Every employee should know your fire safety plan by heart. Remind them that it could save lives.
