Creating a strong safety culture at the office is important to keep everyone safe in any workplace. A well-crafted office safety strategy ensures that there are clearly stated rules and techniques for working safely.
According to John Mayfield, real estate broker, author, and speaker who’s known as “The Business Tech Guy,” a safety program shouldn’t be looked at as a one-time class. “Safety training is a continuous, ongoing educational piece that all of us should embrace annually,” he says. “By approaching safety from this viewpoint, brokers and agents will constantly be reminded of how important safety is to our industry.”

While working at the office, please follow these safety best practices:

1. Use your office address when sending work related email.
2. Remember to test smoke detectors at your office at least once a month.
3. Ensure safety at the office by making sure doors are secured after hours and safety procedures are in place for every employee at your office.
4. Have a check-out employee board at the office, listing name, destination, customer name, date, and expected return time.
