Disaster Preparedness and Training
No matter what kind of environment you work in, you need to have a plan in case of a fire or any other type of emergency. Everyone should be trained to deal with the emergencies that arise. Just like workers in a kitchen should know how to deal with a gas fire, those who work with electronics should know how to deal with an electrical fire. The best form of fire suppression starts with your planning, and it is important to have a company-wide policy for dealing with this kind of situation. Make sure your employees know how to handle electrical sparks and flames the right way, so the problem doesn’t spread.

Water may make the problem worse, and it could make it impossible to salvage your electronic equipment. Having a fire suppression and protection system in place can save your employees and your electronics in the worst-case scenario.
