Fire Prevention Week

Safety Awareness & Preparedness month is here and this week is Fire Prevention Week. Fire Prevention Week is recognized across North America from Oct.5-11 and this year’s theme is “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives – Test yours Every Month”.

All SanMar Canada locations work closely with the local Fire Prevention officers throughout the year ensure we meet the requirements, ensuring a safe worksite for all employees. However we need you to ensure that you know what to do in case of a fire while you are at work.

• Do you know where your muster/designated meeting area is?
• Do you know at least 2 exit routes from the building from your work space?
• Do you know where the closest fire extinguisher is to you right now?

 

If you do not know the answer to any of these questions please check with your manager. We will be participating in a companywide Fire Drill on Thursday October 9, 2014 at 10:20am (local time).

Don’t forget to wear your Safety Awareness hooded sweatshirt each THURSDAY in October (if you haven’t received it yet, it will be arriving shortly).
