Fire Safety!
Prevention First’s educational campaign goes like: “Change Your Clock; Test Your Alarms; practice Your Home Fire Drill; Alarm Goes Off - You Get Out !” twice every year. Government and Non-Government Organisations keep broadcasting such warning under public interest because even the slightest ignorance can prove deadly. Fire accidents at home and work places are the most common hazards occurring which can be fatal and destructive beyond our imagination. The only good thing about hazards is that they are preventable up to an extent. If you are an employer, owner, landlord, occupier, or anyone else with control of the work or home premises then you are definitely entitled as the ‘responsible person’. You are responsible for fire safety in the home or work premises. As the saying goes ‘Accidents foreseen are half avoided’ so does your responsibility of being alert, active, spontaneous and adopting the right behaviour and procedure at the time of any fire accidents.
