Protect Your Business From Arson
Did you know that approximately 20 percent of all fire losses are caused by arson? Because arson crimes are difficult to solve, with only 15 percent of arson cases ending in arrests, it is vitally important that your business take precautions to ensure a safe workplace.
Tips on protecting your business from arson include:
Investigate, document, and report any suspicious activity in the surrounding areas of your building.
Do not allow litter or waste to accumulate around the perimeters of your building.
Use only metal or metal-lined trash receptacles, and keep them at least five feet away from combustible walls.
Keep sprinkler and smoke detectors in working order.
Develop a fire evacuation plan for your employees, and map out escape routes by having fire drills.
Make sure to follow your community's building and fire code regulations.
