When a fire occurs, Chubb has monitoring, alert, suppression and extinguishing solutions able to keep its impact minimal. Despite having these precautions in place, it is essential to prepare your business and team with a comprehensive evacuation plan. Having a thorough plan assists occupants’ fast evacuation and can save lives. These measures may include clearly marked escape routes, emergency exit signs, lighting and even a public address system.
No fire safety strategy is complete without the final part of the plan – escaping a fire safely.
