With the recent time change, we remind you to think about important safety procedures.
For many people, it’s a tradition to check their smoke alarm batteries when the time changes from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time. But remind your workers that now is also a good time to check all your home safety devices.
Here’s a quick “to do” list:
1.Test your home smoke alarms and change the batteries;
2.Test your carbon monoxide detector according to the manufacturer’s instructions;
3.See if your fire extinguishers are fully charged and ready;
4.If you have a security system, make sure it’s working the way it was designed to work;
5.This is also a good time to review your family’s fire drill plans. Make sure everyone knows at least two ways to get out of each bedroom and each area of the house. Establish a place to meet outside in an emergency.
And if you're a business owner, don't forget to do the same at your place of business!
