Temporary Staffing Industry – Workplace Fire Risks
When a fire breaks out in a workplace, it can be dangerous for everyone—especially temporary employees, who might not know the workplace’s layout or proper fire safety procedures.
In workplaces, fires have a variety of causes, including:
- Electric or lighting malfunctions
- Improperly stored trash
- Improperly used or maintained equipment
- Unsafe storage of combustible liquids or other flammable liquids
- Smoking
When a fire breaks out in a warehouse, workers can suffer injuries like burns and respiratory issues from smoke inhalation. They may also suffer injuries like broken bones, lacerations, or even traumatic brain injuries while trying to evacuate the building, especially if they are not familiar with the building’s exits or proper safety plans. The risk of fire-related injuries or deaths also greatly increases if a workplace fails to have proper or well-maintained fire-prevention systems, such as smoke detectors or sprinklers,
