Checklist for Seismic Safety Considerations for Office Renovations

While earthquake drills help ensure safety when an earthquake occurs, being prepared prior to an earthquake is critical to minimize damage and injury. The Checklist for Seismic Safety Considerations for Office Renovations app is a useful tool for office earthquake preparation and safety. During an earthquake emergency, it is important that offices practice proper preparedness. Earthquake strikes do not always have warning associated with them, therefore mitigating hazards ahead of time is critically important. This app checks for certain essential preparedness features for an office or building to turn what could be a disaster into what is hopefully an inconvenience. The app prompts a user to ensure that shelving is secured, cabinets and other hanging storage are secured to wall studs, file cabinets are grouped or fastened together, TV mounting brackets are properly affixed to a stud, glass near exits doors is safety glass or tempered glass, a desk or table is properly secured, and more. Practicing earthquake preparedness means making sure an office space is secured ahead of an earthquake occurring. This app is a critical component of emergency management and a safety plan for offices of all types, whether located in high rise buildings, ground level offices, and more.
