As a business owner/ manager, it’s your responsibility to have fire drills/evacuation drills throughout the year to make sure all workers understand what to do during a fire emergency. For example, workers should be aware of the designated safe meet up location. A safe spot is important to life safety procedures because it’s easy to regroup and account for workers during a life-threatening situation.
