It’s no secret that maintaining a commercial building can be a big job. If you’d like to keep your building maintenance tasks under control so your building continues to be a safe place to work, here are some tips to avoid preventable issues.

Fire

Within your building, fires can be prevented the large majority of the time with the right measures. To keep fires from becoming an issue:

• Unplug any device that starts to give off smoke or sparks
• Never allow anyone to smoke while they are inside your building
• Always make sure you have proper fire extinguisher equipment readily available, and ensure that your employees know where it is located and how to use it

Additionally, you should never block any fire exits in your building and always consult a professional before altering your property’s fuse box.

Electrical

When it comes to building maintenance and your electrical system, never use electrical devices that exceed the allotted amount of amps. If you aren’t sure if this is occurring, you may want to consult with an electrician.

General Tasks

There are many different general tasks that you can have completed that will prevent building maintenance problems at your location. For example, always do regular fire alarm and sprinkler testing, properly maintain any garage doors, always winterize your pipes before the temperatures fall, and have regular maintenance performed on your HVAC system.

Most importantly, work with a building maintenance company that cares about keeping your building in top shape. Contact us at Empire Cleaning Services LLC today for more information.
