How To Protect Your Chicago Business During Winter

A Commercial Insurance and Safety Update

One thing is certain, winter comes every year, and it pays to have your commercial property ready for whatever kind of weather occurs.  It also pays to have us review your commercial insurance to make sure you have the best possible combination of coverage, price, and service.

Tips for Winter Property Preparation

• There are many things your business can do to keep your property updated which, in turn, helps prevent weather damage.
• Develop a snow removal plan.
• Check your snow removal equipment on a regular basis to ensure it is ready when needed.
• Prepare you vehicles for winter driving. This might include changing to snow tires and having emergency kits in every vehicle.
• Keep all outside entries and exits free from snow or ice buildup.
• If your business uses portable space heaters, regularly inspect all cords, and never leave heaters running overnight.
• Verify that all exterior lighting is working.
• When ice or snow are present, use rock salt of other approved substances to reduce slip and fall injuries.
