We recently posted a Fire and Evacuation Policy template which garnered follow-up requests for a Fire Safety Plan. As each property and situation is unique, it would be hard to create a template that would address every situation. However, we can share the steps for creating your own Fire Safety Plan. The process is easily replicated across any type of property. It may be something you handle as the Estate Manager, or delegate to a team composed of your Property Manager, Facilities Manager, and Security Team.
Planning not only helps prevent potential fire hazards but also provides a clear framework for action in case of an emergency. By developing a comprehensive fire safety plan, estate managers can identify and mitigate risks, establish efficient evacuation procedures, and ensure compliance with local fire codes and regulations. Additionally, a well-crafted plan facilitates better coordination with local emergency services and demonstrates a proactive approach to safety, which is crucial for maintaining the trust of property owners and residents alike.
Our 12-page guide covers the essential steps in creating a fire safety plan, including:
– Steps for identifying and assessing potential fire hazards
