Typical hazards & measures
Inadequate signage for escape routes

Blocked stairwells
— Ensure stairwells are clear at all times. Conduct regular inspections and educate staff and students on keeping these routes free from obstructions.
Flammable decorations in corridors
— Limit decorations to fire-retardant materials and avoid excessive displays that can obstruct fire routes. Use wall-mounted fixtures to minimize clutter.
Overloaded extension cords
— Limit the use of extension cords, replacing them with fixed power outlets where possible. Regularly inspect cords for damage and avoid daisy-chaining.
Open windows during fire
— Educate staff on keeping windows closed during fires to limit oxygen flow and prevent the fire from spreading. Install automatic window closure systems if possible.
