Fire at your worksite is a risk that every workplace shares. No one is impervious to the threat of fire. While fire can be devastating to your building and assets, it is most threatening to your most valuable resource – your workers.

The Health & Safety Handbook is always looking for new ways to help you protect your workers. And we’ve been hard at work developing tools to help you manage the risk of fire.

In our updated chapter, Fire Safety, you will now find:

• Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan template document
• Firefighting Equipment Inspection template document
• Toolbox Talk: Fire Evacuation Training template document
• Fire Safety & Emergency Evacuation Policy template document
• A quick guide table that outlines how to maintain your firefighting and detection equipment.
