Test Your Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers are essential in case of a fire. Test the fire extinguishers to make sure they are in good working condition and replace any that are damaged or expired. Also, check the fire extinguisher's pressure gauge regularly to make sure it is in the green zone.

Ensure that all emergency exits are easily accessible and clearly marked. Make sure that no furniture or other items are blocking the emergency exits. Also, check the doors and windows to ensure they are in good condition and open easily.
