Commercial maintenance is just as important as home maintenance

Power failure lighting

We changed the clocks back and hour and we hear the call to test our smoke detectors in our home. Well the question is do maintenance managers for your businesses do the same thing around the office? Many of the same maintenance issues you have around your home are needed and or required at work. So, if you are the owner of an office building what are you doing to keep your employees safe?

Most homes don’t have the luxury of power failure lights that turn on when the power goes out. But then again, they don’t have the windowless walls that a lot of offices have. But when is the last time you tested the power failure lights? These will be critical to helping employees escape a flooded building in a storm or a fire that has knocked out the power.

What about emergency exit signs are they illuminated? Are the exits clear of equipment or trash around them?

When is the last time fire extinguishers were tested? Have they expired?

Have you planned an evacuation route? Or put into place a plan to account for all of your employees, in the event they can not all get out the same door.?

Keeping your business, employees, and customers safe should be your top priority. Protecting your office and home is step #1 to prevent a disaster from happening but if it does, we can make it “Like it never even happened.”  It is best to call us directly at 336-946-1131
