SEISMIC FASTENING PROGRAM - EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS

The heart wrenching story from Japan just keeps getting worse and as you know, it all started with a massive M9.0 earthquake. That big one has made a lot of businesses in the United States think a lot harder about a seismic fastening program on their campus.

If you run a business in a seismically active zone, preparedness, and more particularly a seismic fastening program, is key to ensuring that your business keeps on running after an earthquake strikes.

A seismic fastening program should be at or near the top of your list of priorities.

And it doesn’t matter if your business is large or small, neglecting the earthquake threat and the associated need for a seismic fastening program could prove to be very costly in many ways.

What we have seen in Japan is stark evidence of exactly why it’s so important to take Step #1 to earthquake safety and identify all the potential hazards around the workplace and then fix them with a seismic fastening program.

The Japanese video footage clearly shows the taller, heavier items toppling onto areas right where people had been sitting and working just moments before the big quake struck.

If that didn’t get home the message about why it’s in your best interests to undertake a seismic fastening program around your office, laboratory or warehouse then apparently you need a ton of convincing.

EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS FALLS ON DEAF EARS

Addressing a business luncheon this week in San Diego, the focus of the presentation conducted by the earthquake preparedness team from Quake Hold Industrial was how to prepare for emergencies and in particular they honed in on the subject of earthquake preparedness.

The earthquake preparedness team conducted a random survey of those in attendance and what was clear was that most people still are not prepared to deal with an earthquake.

Despite repeated warnings by earthquake experts, as well as the recent rash of quakes in southern California, people continue to ignore the message.

For the past couple of months the earthquake preparedness experts at Quake Hold Industrial have been discussing how real the threat of earthquakes is and why it’s important for people to make sure their business is earthquake prepared.

Research has revealed that only 22% of Californians consider that they’re prepared in some way or other for an earthquake, while the majority of residents have done relatively little, if anything, about it. In San Diego it’s even worse with a mere 19% of residents having done anything to be earthquake prepared.

And given that scientists have found 50 new faults in California just this year alone, those statistics are quite alarming because everyone could potentially be looking at more seismic activity.

So, with new fault lines in addition to those that scientists already knew about and few people prepared now would be a good time to not just think about undertaking non-structural seismic mitigation, but actually doing it.

QuakeHOLD! Industrial is considered the leader in earthquake safety fastening. They have the all the necessary tools and knowledge exclusively required to secure office equipments with minimal or no interruption to the day-to-day operations.

It may sound like a broken record by repeating that being prepared is the best defense against earthquakes, but it really is. Damage to or loss of equipments and data, not to mention possible injuries to employees are not things that people generally want to experience.

And what about the business continuity? The time and money needed to get back on business after everything is knocked offline in an earthquake might be more than one can handle.

Quake HOLD Industrial with their earthquake preparedness experts have developed a highly recommended seismic fastening program for securing equipment in clean rooms, data centers, hospitals and warehouses, as well as in offices.
