Safety and loss control are important concepts for self-storage business owners who are responsible for providing a safe environment for employees, tenants and guests. Lack of safety training and safety awareness can result in costly claims against the facility. In addition to a written safety and loss control policy, employee safety training is a critical element of an operation’s risk management strategy. Routine safety training supports the maintenance of a safe environment for tenants and mitigates the potential for incidents of employee injury.
MiniCo President and CEO Mike Schofield said, “One of MiniCo’s key objectives is to create a valued on-demand learning platform to which owners and operators may direct employees for safety and loss control training on a regular basis to enhance safety awareness and understanding. Our overall goal will be to create a destination for owners and operators to utilize when seeking loss control and safety resources.”
Future videos in the series will address topics such as preventing slip-and-fall injuries, proper lifting techniques, ladder safety, lock-cutting safety and the safe use of equipment and machinery. Each video will include a link to a quiz designed to reinforce the viewer’s retention of the subject matter.
