Summary: Your maintenance team needs to know where each piece of equipment is placed. Severe consequences could occur from mix-ups. Your maintenance team needs to rely on efficiency to perform their duties. However, one of the most underrated aspects of efficiency lies with organization. Without keeping equipment in designated locations, mishaps and even injuries can occur. Here are some tips to help you get started. Incorporate a Universal Map Needless to say, your maintenance team needs to know where each piece of maintenance equipment lies. For instance, if you have a malfunctioning airplane starting unit in the same place as your brand new pieces, one of your mechanics may accidently utilize it and potentially cause damage to the plane he’s working on. And, as you already know, accidents can cost your company a significant amount of money. Label Your Locations No matter where you place your maintenance equipment, you must have a designated sign or label that’s visually accessible by your team. You can’t just go based off of assumptions. The aforementioned example proves that if you use the wrong piece of equipment, or a faulty one, you could be damaging your business as opposed to improving it. Premium portable supply manufacturers recommends that you train your employees on where to place each maintenance piece so there’s less confusion involved. Neglecting to do this can cause chaos in the workplace. And, the last thing that you need is a complaint, or even worse a lawsuit, coming from one of your...

Read MoreKey provisions in a construction contract to reduce claims
Any construction project, big or small, comes with a certain amount of risk. Unless both time and cost have been underestimated, there is a likelihood that the project will have cost overruns and delays. Any construction disputes that arise from such issues usually end up with a construction claim that goes before a mediator or legal authority. One way to limit or reduce the possibility of claims is to ensure that key provisions are in the contract to protect you. Here are some of those clauses: Notice Any request for additional time or cost due to any circumstances must come with written notice to the owner. The owner then has sufficient time to both examine the merits of the claim and make changes to the timeline or cost agreement. When a contractor does not meet the contractual obligation to provide notice, they waive their rights with respect to the contract. Differing conditions At face value, the differing site conditions clause looks like protection for the contractor. When a site does not match the original site condition at the point of inspection, the contractor can ask for a fair adjustment in price. The owner benefits by getting a more realistic figure for the initial costing, as the contractor doesn’t need to pad the estimate to account for any unforeseen changes. Time extension Whenever possible, insist on a clause that makes the contractor financially liable for any delays for the project within their control. Written by Lyle Charles Consulting.

Read MoreUnderestimating a Clean Outdoor Patio
Summary: A clean patio can prove to be great asset for any household. The only issue is routinely cleaning it. Most homeowners own an outdoor patio that they love to death. As a matter of fact, they love it so much that they neglect it and let everything start to rot after a few years. Sounds factual right? Realistically, most homeowners are so busy tending to the interior of their house that they neglect their patios, when they’re actually one of the areas that are valued the most. Keeping a clean patio not only guarantees a nice, warm place to relax when the weather’s right, but it can also significantly increase the value of a home as well. Routine Cleaning One of the best ways to keep a patio clean is to, well, clean it regularly. It might seem like a tedious chore, which it really is, but it’s a necessity when it’s all said and done. The best way you can start is to clear all the junk that’s worth throwing away. Bring a large garbage bin and start tossing things that you’ll never see yourself using in your life ever – and yes, that means that broken down tractor that was handed down to you decades ago. Part with Old Goods While it does mean parting with some historical artifacts, it also prevents you from being a hoarder. Upon cleaning, you’ll want to decide what outdoor furniture pieces are worth keeping and what are worth throwing away. For instance, maybe you have an outdoor sofa that’s in great shape but is completely discolored and filled with cobwebs. Try and spray it down and replace them with some premium outdoor foam cushions and it’ll look good as new. Or, you can just go on a shopping spree at a furniture store or even a specialty store like The Foam Factory, so you can get the pieces you need to turn your patio into an actually interesting place to...
