Winter weather brings potential of power outages. Power outages mean usage of backup generators. Before you dust off and check the operating condition of your generator, don’t forget to check out the potential hazards associated with portable generators. Remember, proper use of the generators means lights will stay on, water still flows, employees stay safe, and our business stays in service. On the other hand, improper use of generators can put employees or loved ones at risk of serious harm or even worse – death. Take a moment to review the attached Weekly Safety Bulletin regarding proper and improper usage of a portable generator.
