Keep doors locked after normal business hours. Keep clutter out of halls, lobbies, alleys, and other public areas. Housekeeping Keep waste paper, empty boxes, dirty rags, cleaning supplies, and other combustibles out of exits, storage areas, and stairwells.
Wiring Have any cracked, frayed, or damaged electrical cords replaced.
Never run extension cords across doorways or where they can be stepped on or pinched by furniture. Don t plug extension cords into each other and avoid plugging more than one extension cord into an outlet. Equipment and Appliances Leave space for air to circulate around heat-producing equipment, such as copy machines coffee makers, and computers, and keep appliances away from anything that might catch fire. Do not stack books or papers on top of computer monitors. Designate an employee to turnoff or unplug all appliances - including coffeemakers at the end of the day.
