Hurricane season has started and injuries are often the
unfortunate result of the cleanup of storm-related damages .
A recent alert came across my desk regarding potential hazards
associated with cleanup, and I took a particular interest in the
comments about using portable generators. Remember the
potential hazards that can result from the use of portable
generators. In order to keep yourself and other cleanup
operators safe, remember:
1. DO NOTuse generators indoors
2. DO inspect your generator before
use, including fuel lines
3. DO keep your generator away from
doors, windows, or vents that can allow fumes into a
structure
4. DO start your generator before
connecting devices
