Be Ready When Disaster Strikes Your Business

Here at SERVPRO of South Garland we know water and fire can cause devastation in the work place and for businesses. After a major loss many businesses are not able to reopen and end up closing their doors, At SERVPRO of South Garland we do not want that to happen to you.  We want you to be ready to take on these disasters and have a plan to beat the disaster. 

So what are some ways that you can avoid disasters in the workplace?

1. Training, make sure your employees know how to shut off the water, electricity, and gas. And how to do it safely, or who they need to call to get these shut off quickly in case of an emergency. Getting these things cut off could be the difference of a minor inconvenience or not getting them cut off could cause a major disaster.

2. Accessibility, knowing where emergency equipment is located. Knowing where the Fire extinguisher, or defibrillator is located is just as important as knowing how to use them. Make sure that the employees have easy access to information regarding where the cut offs are, as well as any emergency equipment needed.

3. Contacts, knowing who to call for what is very important. Who do you call to get approval for work that may make changes to the building, or who is the emergency contact, it also has a place to add your insurance agent and adjuster as well as a claim number so you can stay connected during a claim.

               These three things could be the difference between staying open after a disaster or having to close down.  SERVPRO of South Garland wants to help your business have the tools that it needs to succeed, and we have made it really easy with our ERP emergency readiness profile.
