Keeping A Business Safe Makes SenseReleased on = November 8, 2005, 2:58 pm Press Release Author = Morgan Cloward / Office Zone Industry = Retail Press Release Summary = Safety in the office can prevent injury and other issues later down the road. Making a few simple changes to the way a business is run may prevent future injuries. Press Release Body = KAYSVILLE, Utah, November 7, 2005 – Safety is an important part
of any business. There are several simple things that can be done to prevent injury
to employees and customers. A few of these simple adjustments can be placing cables
and cords under rugs to prevent tripping. Keeping isles open and clear can prevent
someone from running into something and hurting themselves. Signage indicating exit
ways and a good evacuation plan can prevent confusion and problems later down the
road. Another safety tip that can sometimes be overlooked is a simple “Wet Floor” Safety signs, such as “Wet Floor” signs can commonly be found in a grocery store or office complex. They are usually bi-lingual and usually say something as simple as“Caution Wet Floor” and in Spanish “Cuidado Piso Mojado.” The bright orange, green or yellow catches the eye and immediately draws attention. Once seen, people begin to tiptoe and take caution. The end result is fewer accidents and a drop in lawsuits. It can’t be prevented, and happens sometimes on a weekly basis. A jar of food breaks, an entryway is wet from rain or the custodian has recently mopped the floor. A combination of a slippery substance with smooth floor, cement or tile could create a dangerous environment. The end result could be a customer or employee taking a fall. In an effort to save space and improve response time, a new tent-style safety sign
is now available. Unlike traditional cones, the new wet floor tent cone saves a lot
of space and makes for a better sign. It is taller, brighter and has more visible
surface area. The sign is spring-loaded and fits nicely in a cylindrical container
that can be stored in a closet or hung on a wall. When an accident happens, the Wet floors are difficult to see, especially indoors. Water in low-lit areas of
stores and businesses can be almost invisible. When the sign is used, people will
usually be careful to steer themselves around the dangerous area. When the slippery
floor is brought to the attention of customers and employees, people are usually
able to properly prepare themselves for the slippery conditions. Prevention will
eliminate costly injuries and liability issues. An example of these tent-style wet
floor signs can be found by going here: For further information, please contact Morgan Cloward, Marketing Director of Office Zone, 1-800-543-5454, info@officezone.com. #### Web Site = http://www.officezone.com Contact Details = Office Zone
