It is Urgent to Ensure Your Emergency Doors and Exits Signs Work All the Time!

What is the main purpose of doing business with other people? Yep, it is to make fortune, gaining a good relationship and widening up your vision with various types of people from all around the world!

Well, although some experts said that the economic turbulence had reached its bottom line, but this doesn't mean it going to end very soon. In fact, there are many businessmen/businesswomen who I knew claimed they’re having deep trouble with the capital/financial problem.

Two weeks ago, my old friend, Tyson had dropped me a call. He invited me to visit his home mortgage company. I went to his company during the weekend. We spent over 4 hours discussed about the policy of the company, and long-term plans for helping the company to overcome the economic downturn.

After that, Tyson brought me to surveying around his company. Well, everything seems to be fined in the very beginning, but it changed 360 degrees, when we’re coming in front the emergency doors! I noticed that the doors were totally locked up with huge padlocks and the exit signs didn't even light on as well.

Frankly, I flabbergasted when I saw this situation. I asked Tyson on the spot, “Tyson, did you know what you’re doing here?”

“What’s wrong with it, Wilson?” Tyson asked me back!

“Oh my god, it seemed that you have no idea, what you’re doing here, my friend.”

“I didn't catch your words, mate. Would you please elaborate it?”

“Tyson, you've done something that will put yourself in the trouble.”

“Really? Please tell me, Wilson!”

“Have a look on the emergency doors. Both of them already locked up, where it shouldn't be locked up at all. Also, the 'EXIT SIGNS' supposed to be light on all the time, instead of turned off!”

“Gosh, I didn't notice about it, as I thought the emergency doors should only open, when we’re situating in the dangers, such as fire!”

“Yep, you’re right here, Tyson. However, if there were a fire, would you still
remember where you have put the padlock key? In this case, I think you’re mostly freak out by the fire, not even to mention about the key!”

“Hmm…, you’re right, Wilson. Thanks for the reminder, I’m going to unlock the emergency doors and light on the exit signs.”

“Bravo, mate. You've done the right thing!”

After about 5 hours in Tyson’s company, I went back to my home in evening. I'm happy that I helped Tyson fixed the problem, before it turns out into a disaster.

Guys, if you’re the owner of company, you must always remember that it’s crucial and important thing to unlock the emergency door and keeps the exit sign light on!

Remember not try to neglect the above simple steps, as you might be punished, once you’re caught red handed by the authority.

Hi Wilson - You've got to be so careful where health and safety is concerned, or it will come back to bite you on the ass.

If you employ people, it really is worth joining some kind of service that will keep you updated on new health and safety policies and stuff.

Thanks for the reminder, Cath. Yep, the health and safety policies are two important things that cannot be separated at all!
