When carpeting or hard flooring is damaged, the risk of slip and fall accidents will rise. Slip and fall accidents may lead to expensive litigation that harms your company’s reputation. To keep your office as safe as possible, you should get damaged flooring repaired immediately. Falls are the leading cause of visits to American emergency rooms, so damaged flooring does present a real risk.

Torn carpeting is a safety hazard, as is carpeting that’s buckled or rippled. Professional carpet technicians know how to remove torn panels and replace them with new ones that are a perfect match. Buckling and rippling are typically caused by poor installation. Experts know to how use reinstallation techniques to make carpeting lie flat, as it should.

Hard flooring repair techniques will vary, based on what the problem is. Floors may be refinished to remove scratches that might be trip hazards, while more significant damage might require the replacement of flooring sections. Getting any type of flooring damage repaired quickly is essential from the standpoint of protecting your company from liability. This is especially true if your company doesn’t have a good level of commercial general liability insurance coverage.

Get Bathroom Plumbing Checked To Prevent Clogs

Employees and guests (such as clients or investors who have come over for meetings) will not be happy if your office washrooms are out of order. Another scenario is that a washroom’s toilet or sink gets clogged after a staff member or guest uses it. Such clog-related plumbing problems may be very messy. Problems like this don’t help a company’s image at all, particularly when clients and investors are on-site.

Regular bathroom maintenance that includes drain checks will help you to minimize the risk of washroom plumbing issues. With regular drain checks, it’s possible prevent problems so they reach critical mass. When you invest in scheduled maintenance, team members and office guests will be able to use functional rest rooms, day in and day out.

Get Power Cords Inspected Annually

No matter how high-tech and cloud-based your workplace is, there are probably still power cords around, some of which may need repair or replacement. Appliances with power cords should be retired from service when power cord damage is evident. Frayed computer cables that might electrocute users or damage pricey hardware should be replaced as soon as possible. Paying a professional to inspect your power cords each year is an investment in office safety that prolongs the lifespan of hardware.

Now that you know three office maintenance investments that can save you money, you’re ready to come up with an office maintenance plan that makes your workplace a safer, more attractive place.
