Chair Hire - For Those Unexpected Events!

We’ve all had those days in the workplace… sitting down completing our tasks when a cow suddenly falls through the ceiling breaking your office furniture! In all likelihood, this probably hasn’t happened to you, but a weaver from Cornwall recently experienced this exact same situation as reported in the Daily Mail, showing how useful it could be to call on the rental furniture experts in your time of need.

Why plan for emergencies?

On this occasion, a weaver from the West Country was in her converted barn where she works when she heard a very loud noise followed by a cow crashing through the ceiling breaking her furniture. As she started to move the animal from the barn, a second cow joined the first in falling through the roof. Luckily there were no injuries and plummeting farmyard animals aren’t a common worry for most people heading into their workplace each day, although it does highlight the need to have some sort of emergency plan for those unexpected events, whether these are lost cows or more common problems, like fires, floods or loss of data.

Getting prepared - for small and large businesses

You company may already have lots of protocols in place for these kinds of unfortunate events, and if you haven’t thought about what you’d do if fires, floods or falling cows affected your company, then it may save you a headache later if you had some kind of response plan. In fact, figures from Braintree District Council show that a fifth of all businesses experience major disruption to services every year because of these kinds of unforeseen events, while ten per cent stop trading altogether.

Where to start…

Further tips published by the council advise managers to form a business continuity plan, that would ensure you can keep operating when hit by circumstances you didn’t see coming. Typical scenarios that could threaten your firm, include fire, floods, IT system failure, utility problems, sickness from flu/other viruses and for an unlucky weaver in the West Country - a disorientated cow. Plans involve looking at specific outcomes, assessing risk and recording how you company with deal with events if they were to occur.

For example, in the case of flooding, you can have the likelihood of this happening assessed and then install special windows, doors and basement pumps if necessary. Insurance is crucial, and having the names of contractors to assist you in clearing damage and restoring your premises is useful too.
