Smoke detectors should be placed in corridors, storerooms, under stairways, guest rooms, public areas and storage spaces.
For larger hotels, legislation requires that you have an automated centralized smoke detector that integrates all smoke detectors in each location with a master panel.
Fire extinguishers are designed to control and extinguish small fires.
Fire Safety Signs are required in even the smallest hotel premises.
All commercial, including hotels, are required to provide some fire safety signage – at the very least a Fire Action Notice and a Fire Extinguisher ID sign.
Risk Assessments: All hotels, whatever the size, must complete one.
Regular checks of the building need to be made to ensure that fire doors are not damaged in any way.
Staff training: All staff should be trained in emergency procedures and the use of fire safety equipment to ensure guests, other employees and the building is kept safe.
Employees need to be able to identify and report fire risks, as well as knowing all escape routes, and what to do in an emergency, including evacuation drills, how to use a fire blanket and a fire extinguisher.
Evacuation route: Make sure that there is a clear evacuation route in case of emergency.
Easy to follow signage: avoid confusing signs and make sure all fire equipment is correctly signed and that all exit routes and assembly points are clear.
