Workplace fires are something every business should take seriously. They cost companies millions of

tips for the workplace. A fire audit is very important in the corporate world. In fact, it is mandatory to

do a safety audit and implement the safety plan to avoid the risk of fire accidents by doing a series of

fire safety programs weekly, fortnightly, or monthly depending on the size of the office building and

also covering every single room in that office.
