Perimeter Safety Check
This is a simple process you can do while you’re working to ensure your customers are safe and you capture all of the potential work projects you can offer our customers.
Responsibilities
You are responsible for keeping our customers safe around their homes. Please do your best to point out anything that may be a safety hazard for them. If it’s quick, just help them while you’re there. If it’s more of a job, tell them about it and book a visit if they would like to.
