1. Fire safety management

1. The owner or person in charge of production of the small workshop should carry out fire prevention inspections every day, focusing on the safety exits, evacuation channels, fire-fighting facilities and equipment, as well as the safety of fire, electricity, gas, combustibles, etc.;

2. The owner or production person in charge of the small workshop should carry out fire safety education and training for employees, and employees should know the location of evacuation channels, safety exits and fire extinguishing equipment, and should be able to report fire, escape and self-rescue, and use fire extinguishing equipment.

3. Production equipment that produces high temperature or uses open flames should be supervised by special personnel during production and use. When dangerous goods such as alcohol and paint are used in production, managers should be implemented and strict operating procedures should be implemented.

4. The safety exits on the first floor and the exits leading to the closed stairwells, outdoor stairs and roof platforms should not be locked, and the openable external windows should not be blocked or blocked.

1. It is strictly forbidden to store flammable and explosive dangerous goods in the processing and production area. When dangerous goods such as alcohol and paint are used in production, the amount used should be strictly controlled (calculated based on the amount used in one day).

2. Kitchens using gas cooktops should have natural ventilation conditions and should be fire-separated from processing and storage areas.

3. Metal pipes or flame-retardant plastic sleeves should be worn when the electrical circuits are laid open. Do not pull the wires without permission. It is strictly forbidden to overload the use of electrical equipment.

4. The high-temperature parts on the surface of lighting fixtures and electric heating equipment should be kept at a safe distance from combustibles, and fire protection measures such as heat insulation and heat dissipation should be taken when close to combustibles.

5. No warehouses or combustibles shall be built around the outer walls of the building and within the fire spacing. Goods should not be stacked near evacuation routes and safety exits in the building.
