Is Your Business Prepared For A Power Cut?

Don’t get caught out in the next power cut your business faces. Check out the list below for tips & products that may come in handy in the event of a power outage! 

Tips In The Event Of A Power Cut

Have a plan for your business during a power outage. Do your employees know what to do in the event of a power outage at work? When the lights go out, a power outage emergency response plan will not only keep your employees and customers safe but also protect your appliances and equipment from damage.

Have an emergency kit accessible for you and your employees. Every business should keep on hand a kit stocked with emergency water, first aid supplies, flashlights, some rope and other basic items. It should be kept in an easy-to-reach place, and employees should be trained on where it is and how to use it.

Invest in surge protection for your business’s equipment. Surge protectors keep your equipment from malfunctioning when there is a sudden change in voltage. During a storm or power outage, the risk is especially high. The cost of surge protection equipment is far less than the cost of replacing damaged computers or other equipment.

Turn off and disconnect your small business’s equipment to prevent damage. During an outage, surges can damage equipment and create a fire risk. Turn off and completely disconnect all your business’s large appliances and other equipment so that nothing is damaged. This is another of the most important power outage procedures for small businesses—after all, you can’t keep your doors open without the equipment your company relies on.

Power Banks

The purpose of a power bank is to recharge battery-powered electronics when you’re on-the-go! A power bank can be small enough to fit in your pocket or they can be larger with a higher capacity. Power banks are used to charge cell phones, tablets, speakers, and even laptops!

If you keep a few power banks charged, you can use these to power your devices in the event of a power cut!

Torches

Torches are ideal in the event of a power cut, as they will allow you to find your way around minimizing the risk of injury. Some of the LED Torches can also act as a Night Light & Power Failure Light.
