October is Fire Prevention Month. Take proactive steps to protect your business from a potential disaster. Even a single overloaded power strip could close your doors for months — or permanently.
Four Simple Tips to Reduce Electrical Fire Hazards:2
- Turn off non-essential appliances like coffee pots and space heaters when not in use.
