1. Look for potential ignition sources such as open flames, electrical equipment, heating appliances, and smoking materials.
2. Check for flammable materials such as chemicals, fuels, solvents, and combustible waste that could easily catch fire.
3. Inspect electrical systems and appliances for signs of damage, overheating, or overloading that could lead to electrical fires.
4. Ensure that fire safety equipment such as fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and sprinkler systems are in place and properly maintained.
5. Identify any blocked or obstructed fire exits that could prevent people from escaping in the event of a fire.
6. Educate yourself and others on fire safety procedures and protocols, including evacuation routes and emergency contacts.
7. Conduct regular fire drills and training sessions to ensure that everyone knows how to respond in case of a fire emergency.
8. Keep flammable materials stored in designated areas away from potential ignition sources and ensure they are properly labeled and stored according to safety guidelines.

Workplace Fire Risks
- Electrical hazards: Overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, damaged insulation
- Flammable materials: Stored improperly, near heat sources
- Hot work: Welding, cutting, grinding without proper precautions
- Smoking areas: Designated but potentially hazardous
- Kitchen areas: Cooking appliances, grease buildup
- Blocked exits: Doors, windows, and escape routes obstructed
- Poor housekeeping: Clutter, debris, flammable liquids left unattended
- Inadequate safety equipment: Fire extinguishers, sprinklers, smoke detectors missing or inoperable
- Lack of fire safety training: Employees not trained on fire prevention, evacuation, and emergency procedures
Home Fire Risks
- Electrical hazards: Overloaded outlets, frayed cords, faulty appliances
- Cooking accidents: Grease fires, unattended cooking
- Heating sources: Fireplaces, space heaters, stoves left unattended
- Candles: Left unattended or placed near flammable materials
- Smoking materials: Cigarettes, cigars, pipes not properly discarded
- Flammable liquids: Gasoline, cleaning solvents, paints stored improperly
- Clutter and debris: Accumulation of paper, clothing, and other flammable materials
- Inadequate smoke detectors: Not enough detectors, located in the wrong places, or not maintained
- Blocked exits: Doors, windows, and escape routes obstructed
- Lack of fire escape plan: No plan established or not practiced regularly
Additional Signs of Fire Risk:
- Smoke or burning smell
- Sparks or flames
- Abnormally high temperatures
- Red or glowing materials
- Unusual noises (popping, crackling)
- Rapid spread of smoke or flames
- Activation of fire safety systems (e.g., sprinklers, alarms)
