The time to start preparing for summer is now!
You might be looking forward to some beach days or planning summer holidays with the family but don’t forget to prep for summer at work too.
Long periods of heat raise concerns about health risks but also trigger an increase in the risk of bushfires.
Now is the time to prepare! Have you considered the following:
- Check fridges and freezers are working properly
- Check air conditioners have been serviced and cleaned
- Consider exterior awnings and screen shades to keep direct sunlight off windows
- If your business is located near bushland or in rural areas, include bush fire risk in your Business Continuity Plan
- Clear gutters, loose equipment and vegetation from around buildings and access points
- Ensure fire protection equipment is regularly checked and tested
- Store flammable materials well clear of buildings
