Johnson Controls Releases Facility Checklist For Fire Prevention Month

To commemorate Fire Prevention Month in October, Johnson Controls has released best practices for facilities to mitigate the risk of fire hazards. Integrated fire and life-safety solutions, along with a tested emergency preparedness plan, can improve occupant safety, maximize the efficiency of building systems and emergency communication, and mitigate vulnerabilities throughout a facility. No building is immune to fire, but there are proactive steps that facilities can take to reduce the risk of a potential emergency and minimize damages.

Below are tips to help facilities bolster fire and life-safety efforts.

A Checklist For Protecting A Facility

• Train employees on emergency preparedness procedures and plans
• Install technologies that can exchange information and detect potential problems earlier
