FIRE SAFETY ROUND
What is a fire safety round and how to carry it out?
If there is a fire, it is not enough to just keep track of where firefighting equipment and emergency exits are. You must also know how the extinguishing equipment works and that the emergency exits are not blocked. Therefore, regular fire safety rounds are made.
To ensure that no fire extinguisher or emergency exits are missed in a fire round, your employer must provide a checklist showing numbered extinguishers and named emergency exits. It creates a safe place for both staff and visitors.

DARE TO ASK THE QUESTION
If you have never been on a fire safety round, ask your boss to attend the next time it happens. Learn the round and check the list that everything is okay. It is important that the inspections are done regularly as it is a guarantee that all equipment is in place and that everything works as it should.
The fire extinguishers are checked as follows:
The emergency exits are checked as follows:
- The sign with emergency exit must be clearly visible.
- The door must be opened outwards.
- Outside the door, it must be free of furniture, goods or anything else that can be an obstacle when it is dark and smoky.
Always let your boss know if something is wrong.
Internal rules may differ. Some say that the person who discovers the error must also ensure that the error is rectified, while others say that it is always the person responsible on site who is to rectify it. Find out what applies in your workplace.
REMEMBER!
At least one fire round a day provides increased security.
Regular inspections reduce the risk of errors in case of fire.
