Fire Safety & Evacuation
Our fire safety and evacuation program includes:
We create a detailed evacuation plan tailored to your facility, covering exit routes, fire extinguisher locations, employee exit procedures, and protocols for individuals responsible for headcounts. Additionally, we designate key personnel for managing chemical handling and storage during emergencies.
Our training session provides a thorough review of the evacuation plan and key fire safety principles. Employees will learn how to respond effectively in emergency situations, use fire extinguishers properly, and follow established evacuation protocols. Each session includes a Q&A segment to ensure all questions are addressed and employees fully understand the procedures.
Every training session is documented with a sign-in sheet that includes employee signatures, trainer qualifications, and a detailed summary of the material covered. This log serves as an essential record for compliance and future reference.
Compsolve’s services equip your team
with the knowledge and confidence needed to handle fire emergencies effectively. By combining clear evacuation planning, comprehensive training, and thorough documentation, we help your business maintain a safe and compliant work environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s the universal acronym for effective extinguisher use:
- Pull the pin.
- Aim at the base of the fire (not the flames).
- Squeeze the handle.
- Sweep from side to side.
There are three levels of inspection:
- Monthly: A quick visual check (is it there? is the pressure gauge in the green? is it blocked?).
- Annually: A thorough maintenance check by a professional.
- Every 5–12 Years: Hydrostatic testing (pressure testing the cylinder) depending on the type of extinguisher.
No. An exit door must be able to be opened from the inside without keys, tools, or special knowledge. If a door requires a code or a badge to get out, it is generally a violation unless it’s a very specific, high-security setup with an automatic "fail-safe" release during an alarm.
OSHA generally requires that an exit access (the path leading to an exit) be at least 28 inches wide at all points. You cannot store boxes, pallets, or equipment in a way that narrows this path. If people can't fit through it during a panic, it’s a hazard.
Yes. An EAP is the "who goes where" plan. OSHA requires that employees be trained on the plan so they know their primary and secondary evacuation routes and where the "muster point" (assembly area) is located outside.
Using the wrong extinguisher can make a fire worse (like putting water on a grease fire).
- Class A: Ordinary combustibles (wood, paper, cloth).
- Class B: Flammable liquids (gasoline, oil, paint).
- Class C: Energized electrical equipment (motors, computers).
- Class D: Combustible metals (magnesium, titanium).
