At Davies Property Management, your safety and the safety of your family are top priorities.
Here are some important tips to ensure a secure living environment:
- Unplug Heat-Producing Appliances: Unplug appliances like toasters, irons, and coffee makers when not in use to prevent fire hazards.
- Stove and Oven Safety: Never leave a stove or oven unattended. Turn off all stove and oven appliances when leaving the house.
- Heating Pads and Electric Blankets: Turn off heating pads and electric blankets when leaving the residence to prevent fire hazards.
- Water Usage: Never leave water running unattended in a plugged bathtub or when leaving the residence.
- Leaks: Report any leaks, especially if water is seen in the ceiling below an upstairs bathroom, to DPM immediately.
- Electrical Appliance Safety: Do not operate electrical appliances while in contact with water. Avoid using appliances like blow dryers, curling irons, radios, and TVs near water.
- Child Safety: Use child protector plugs in outlets when not in use, especially if you have small children.
- Electrical Considerations: Avoid overloading extension cords and use the correct wattage for lamps. Do not run extension cords in areas that could cause tripping.
- Reporting Electrical Issues: Report any suspected electrical problems to DPM immediately.
- Smoke Alarms: Do not remove smoke alarms; they are for safety. Change the batteries if needed and report any issues to DPM.
- Safety on Walkways: Ensure walkways and sidewalks are clear of toys, preventing tripping hazards.
- Lighting: Replace outside light bulbs to maintain proper visibility when it's dark.
- Tree Roots: Report any exposed tree roots to the DPM office.
- Fire Safety: Keep a portable fire extinguisher in the kitchen and garage. Never leave grills unattended if you use a grill or BBQ.
- Fireplace Safety: Store hot ashes and coals away from the residence. Do not store fireplace wood against the residence. Always ensure the damper is open before starting a fire, and avoid building excessively large fires in the fireplace.
By following these safety tips, you contribute to a secure and comfortable living environment for everyone. If you have any concerns or notice any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to Davies Property Management.
