Brief Safety Briefs

11/07

Did you know, according to NFPA, between 2011 and 2015 portable and stationary space heaters accounted for more than 43% US home eating fires and 85% of home heating deaths? The number of home heating fires increases from November through February with the most frequent time of day for a fire between 4 pm and midnight.

10/31

Did you know that, according to Hartford Insurance, 67,000 wildfires were reported in 2016? These destroyed over 4000 structures and of those 3000 were residential. One of the first steps you can take to defend against a wildfire is limiting the fuel sources around your home or business.

10/14

Did you know that rechargeable and high capacity batteries cannot be put into the regular trash? They contain materials that need to be disposed of as hazardous waste. They can also leak or interact and start a fire. And button batteries can be dangerous to children and animals since they can be swallowed.

10/08

Did you know that statically, the best way to put out a fire is with sprinklers? Consider placing any items currently on the floor, on blocks or shelves to protect from any future incidents.

09/23
Did you know that extension cords and cables which run across walkways must be securely taped down to prevent tripping hazards. Be sure to use tape materials that are durable such as gaffers or duct/grey tape and can stand up to traffic.

09/03
Did you know that a fire can double in size as fast as every 30 seconds and that most people die of smoke inhalation rather than burns? If you hear a fire alarm, do not assume it is false. Proceed quickly to the nearest exit.

09/09
Did you know that the use of a respirator requires special training and fit testing? The only type of dust protection that can be used, without special training, is a nuisance dust mask which are simple paper masks usually white or blue.
