Let's take a look at some safety tips that will help keep you, your employees and customers safe.

  Every commercial building should have an emergency plan that includes where to go for safety in case of a bad weather event. These areas are typically inside the building away from windows, ideally between solid walls. You want to avoid any areas with glass in case of flying debris. SERVPRO of Marietta West can help your place of business with your Emergency Ready Plan. Developing an Emergency Ready Plan helps your business by minimizing business interruption by having an immediate plan of action. An Emergency Ready Plan includes:

  • Bottled Water
  • Flashlight

  Keep trees and shrubberies trimmed so they resist bad weather more easily. Flying debris from trees can damage windows and the exterior of your building. If you have lightning rods on your building they should be inspected and maintained so they work properly when needed. All emergency exit signs and fire extinguishers should also be checked and replaced if needed once a year.

  • Free assessment of your building and gathering critical information needed in the event of an emergency such as shelter locations, emergency exits and water and power shut off locations. 
  • A guide to help you get back into your business and up running as quickly as possible after a disaster.
