Reminder: Change alarm batteries when turning clocks back

RICHMOND, Va. — The "Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery" campaign is a crucial reminder to not only check smoke detector batteries but also to reinforce overall fire safety practices, both at home and in the workplace. In workplaces, regular fire drills, clear evacuation routes, and accessible and inspected fire extinguishers saves lives. Additionally, employees should be educated on how to respond in case of a fire, including knowing the location of exits, muster points, and the importance of not using elevators during an evacuation. An appointed Fire Warden will have this information.
