There are many things you as an employer can do to help prevent any incidents caused by the heat. Listed below are a few ways you can keep your employees safe out in the heat.
• Provide access to water, rest and shade. • Schedule jobs to allow for rest or rotation of your employees. • Schedule more physically demanding tasks during cooler times of the day. • Train your employees to recognize heat illness symptoms and take preventative measures throughout the work day. • Require employees to wear breathable, light clothing. • Create and maintain an emergency action plan for heat emergencies.

 When your basement floods, the floor is the first thing that needs to be replaced. This is often the most expensive part of a water damage claim. When considering flooring, it’s best to have something that durable and waterproof. Any steps you can take to reduce the amount of a water claim will help protect your insurance rates in the long run.
Elite Flooring Gallery (www.eliteflooringgallery.com) in Chantilly, Virginia is a client of ours, and they recommend Luxury Vinyl Flooring for basements. It’s an affordable waterproof and moisture proof flooring option that has great warmth and texture underfoot. Luxury Vinyl Flooring comes in Luxury Vinyl Planks that look like hardwood and Luxury Vinyl Tile that looks like tile, natural stone and concrete. Both LVT and LVP are designed to hold up in spaces that may have moisture (such as basements, kitchens, and bathrooms). Advantages of LVF over other types of floorings: • More durable, holds up better to scratch • Waterproof and moisture proof • Costs less • Warmer on feet • Easier on feet • Less noisy • Won’t crack • Easier to clean Information © Elite Flooring Gallery |
