WHAT ARE THE FIRE RISK AND PRECAUTIONS IN HOT WEATHER?

The risk of fire in businesses may increase in hot weather becauseç High temperatures, drought and other factors can increase the likelihood of fire occurrence. Some precautions that can be taken to reduce the risk of fire and protect the business from fires are as follows:

  • Storage areas must be well ventilated and protected against fire. Ignition temperatures of flammable materials and storage conditions should be taken into consideration.

  1. Smoking Areas

  1. Fire Detection and Extinguishing Systems
