Winter Weather Preparation

12/5/2019 (Permalink)

Winter weather means safety risks for your business when it comes to snow.  SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford understands how critical it is to keep your commercial business running and your employees and customers safe during inclement weather.  Following important safety measures and being prepared for winter will help keep your business running smoothly.

• Before a winter storm, discuss your plan with either your employees or hired contractor.  Cover any sidewalks or parking lots with ice melt.  This will prevent slippery surfaces for those visiting or working in the building.
• Stock up on supplies including snow shovels.  Have cones and caution tape ready in case you need to alert customers or employees about icy surfaces before anyone is able to remove the snow and ice.
• Clear all areas of travel, including sidewalks, parking lots and entrances.
• Make sure your employees know what to do in the event of a storm, such as where to park and how to access the building.

This season can pose a large threat to commercial businesses.  The proper precautions and preparation will eliminate the risks and help keep your company functioning.  SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford is always prepared for winter disasters.  We are happy to help and offer 24/7 emergency services in fire, water, and mold damage, no matter the weather.
