ost commercial fa- cilities as well as households have a

the facility back on line sooner rather than later. Facility First-Aid Kits are useful to have on hand for several reasons. • The Response Time to get your facility back on line will be dramatically improved. Think about your facility go- ing dark because of a blown fuse. People scrambling trying to find a fuse that will get you back on line, maybe making an emergency trip to the store paying full retail price if not higher. Now re-picture that same scenario where you go to your

“Facility First-Aid Kit” and while you may not have the exact replacement fuse you do have one that will work in the interim: restore the circuit and then shop for the correct fuse at the best price. You, the facility manager become the hero. • Risk management will sleep better knowing that you as the facility manage are pre- pared, increasing employee safety. Emergencies create an environment of people making knee jerk reactions. A custom- ized “Facility First-Aid kit” helps prevent those knee-jerk

“let’s try this” solutions. • Your building and the people who work in it would be better protected by know- ing there is a ready to go kit for any emergency. • Cost savings by not need- ing to find quick fix solutions and pay retail price will make you, the facility manager, a hero to the bean counters in your organization. • Accidents are always un- planned and unexpected how- ever, your response to them should never be unplanned or delayed. I ask you again, why not have

a well-stocked customized first- aid kit on hand? A kit stocked with all of those items that could potentially protect your facility from further injuries? Whether you are thinking about a small facility first aid kit for your home, or some- thing more substantial for work, call us at Jewel Electric supply to get you started and get the best “Facility First-Aid Kit” for your property. You’ll feel better knowing you are prepared for any emergency. Bob Kilroy is the VP at Jewel Electric Supply Co. in Jersey City, NJ. n

ate supplies on hand minor emergencies can be addressed quickly and not escalate into major emergencies. Many fa- cility mangers believe that by protecting your employees and the people you care about with a well-stocked first-aid kit – a minor injury does not have to turn into a major incident. Why wouldn’t you as a prop- erty owner of facility manage want to protect your facility with the same level of care as the people who work there? Consider a “Facility First-Aid Kit”. A kit customized to meet the needs of your facility or for that matter your home. The kit might contain com- mon fuses, latex or work gloves, safety vest, protec- tive clothing, eye protection, protective breathing devices, ty-raps, common connectors, lubricants, tapes,…..the pos- sibilities are endless but the results would be the same, minimize your risk and get RGS Associates, Inc. hires Albright LANCASTER, PA — RGS Associates, Inc. announced a newmember of their team, Kel- ly Albright , project designer.
