Talk:Do Not Be On Fire.

Establish a safety team

The safety team shall schedule regular (frequency to be discussed) walk-arounds of the space to identify new safety risks and monitor existing issues. The team shall record any findings and present the details to the membership.

Any policy shall be reviewed annually or due to a relevant change in circumstances.

Fire Prevention and Procedure

We shall operate a policy of implementing measures that both: -

1. prevent fires from starting
2. have emergency procedures should a fire occur

(BizSpace own fire audits?)

Fire alarm - BizSpace testing -

• in the event of an alarm...
• evacuation procedure
• fire exits and escape routes
• assembly points
• alarm call points
• fire marshals (? not guaranteed to be at the space in event of emergency)
• occupancy (? we don't hold records - not popular with membership difficult to manage)

Fire extinguishers - types and locations - testing and renewal

Fire blankets

Sources of fire ignition: -

• electrical malfunction
• heating elements - glue guns, soldering stations, heat gun, sparks
• kitchen cooking appliances
• etc. - continue list

When to tackle a fire - when not to tackle a fire.
