5 Workplace Fire Statistics
Fire and Safety Australia has conducted research with alarming findings
Our research found that workplaces are underprepared for emergencies that may occur and that building occupants are not confident in how to respond in an emergency, particularly that occupants do not feel confident in knowing what procedures to follow during an emergency or how to operate a fire extinguisher.
