Why Hiring Licensed and Insured Contractors Is Essential
As a business owner, you will occasionally need to make repairs to keep your business and property safe and hazard-free. While it may seem tempting and less expensive to do a DIY project or hire an unlicensed contractor for these repairs, these shortcuts are not worth the cost in the long run. Here are some of the many reasons why only a licensed and insured contractor should complete your projects.
Preserving Video Surveillance
Businesses often use a video surveillance system to monitor their establishments for a variety of reasons, including security, property management, and liquor service monitoring. In the event a potential claim happens at your premises, it is crucial that video surveillance footage be handled and preserved correctly. If surveillance is handled incorrectly, it can become unusable and, in some cases, have a negative effect on the outcome of a claim settlement.
Houses of Worship Safety Checklist
Although houses of worship are meant to be places of refuge, they are prone to the same risks as any other building — if not more due to the significant foot traffic on the premises. Because the safety of your congregation is paramount, it is crucial to ensure your building and its surrounding grounds are in the best possible condition and free from hazardous exposures. Utilize the below checklist to identify areas most in need of attention at your house of worship.
