Spring has set in many parts of the US, most schools are shut for the summer break and many families are taking summer vacations. June is National Safety Month. National Safety Council has prepared weekly themes to highlight the importance of personal and personnel safety. National Safety Council is also celebrating its 100th year of safety. ServiceMaster by Best joins and promotes the celebration of safety. NSC is promoting each week the following:

• Week1: Preventing Slips, Trips and Falls
• Week 2: Employee Wellness
• Week 3: Emergency Preparedness
• Week 4: Ergonomics

This week is a perfect time for those facility managers and contractors to give a little extra attention to the flooring and walkways in their facilities. It is a great opportunity to consider the floor maintenance program of every facility.

For carpeted facilities, a well thought out and well planned cleaning and maintenance program will lengthen the life of the carpet. Regular carpet cleaning will make the appearance of the carpet pleasing to the patrons of the business. It will also keep carpet from ...
... fraying etc. and thus prevents slips or trips and causing runs in the carpet. Summer break is a great time for institutions such as schools that experience heavy traffic during the school year to consider deep cleaning of the carpets in the class room.

As we consider the carpet cleaning and maintenance programs, it is a excellent time to also consider the other flooring solutions such as tile and stone. Vinyl composite time can be stripped and refinished while traffic is low. A follow up burnishing can enhance the floor finish bringing out a greater shine and making the appearance more durable for when traffic returns. When floors are being stripped and refinished, remember to have adequate “wet floor” signs posted and placed to prevent slips and falls.

Employee wellness focus can be supplemented by a clean environment. Having a clean floor is only the beginning. Air Duct cleaning can help reduce the dust and allergens that are more air borne during the spring and summer months as trees bloom and grow, more pollen is found in the air. People are more likely to open windows for fresh air, but this also brings in more dust that must be addressed. Change the air filter regularly.

Over the past few weeks we have observed the severe storms in the Midwest regions of the US. For such events as have taken place in Oklahoma and Kansas, Emergency preparedness is of utmost importance.
• Have a written safety plan, what to do in the event of an emergency such as a tornado.
• Practice the safety plan till is second nature to all employees and patrons.
• Have stand by Generators to power the most basic and critical needs.
• Have emergency cleanup and water damage cleanup or fire damage cleanup contractors lined up with pre-agreed prices should you need their services.
