Looking for legal protection? You need Georgia general liability insurance!

Do you run a commercial kitchen in Georgia? You will probably be aware of the potential risks to your staff and patrons from a gas leak. Gas explosions can cause serious injuries and death, and gas poisoning may cause long term respiratory problems. Your Georgia general liability insurance may protect you financially against the cost of being held liable for a gas related injury at your business but the safety of your staff and customers should always be your first priority.

Educate your staff on the following gas safety procedures for a safer workplace:

• Create an emergency plan for gas leaks and make sure all staff are aware of it and practice it regularly.
• Show staff where the emergency shut off valves are for all gas appliances.
• Make sure everyone knows where the main shut off valve for the gas supply to your building is.
• Be sure to use a gas fitter who is experienced with the challenges of commercial kitchen appliances when installing appliances. Technical issues such as the type of hose used and where to place the shut off valves may be irrelevant in certain circumstances but can have significant safety implications in a commercial kitchen.
• Keep gas appliances regularly checked and maintained by a qualified professional.

Sometimes accidents happen and gas leaks can occur through no fault of your own. As long as you have taken all reasonable safety measures and have up to date Georgia general liability insurance there is a good chance you will be protected against the cost of being sued for a gas related injury.
