Fire Suppression Equipment
This video makes the point that fires are very common hazards and that no one should try to fight a fire without training.

These should be located in prominent and easy to reach locations throughout the facility and inspected annually to make sure they are in good operating condition. #32 Our facility is equipped with all required fire suppression equipment such as fire extinguishers.
Evacuation Assembly Areas
This video touches on the importance of having evacuation routes prominently displayed. These can lead to interior shelters or exterior assembly areas. Safety Wardens play a role in this process and help with indicating that an area is clear of people. Ask about EXIT signs and also protection from the elements at the external sites. Last, make sure that the evacuation routes don't block first responders trying to reach the area.
