🌞 Summer Safety Tips — Around The Pool: Fencing
During the heat of summer, the last thing we want to think about is what’s keeping us out. But for tenants, that may be the very thing that’s keeping them safe. Regulations vary in different states and jurisdictions and if you have a pool on the premises, we urge you to revisit those regulations in preparation for summer’s busy swim season. In California, for example, code requires fences be constructed over 60 inches tall, with openings no more than 4 inches between slats and outfitted with self-closing and self-latching gates of at least 54 inches tall.

❄️ Safe Holiday Gathering
The holidays are a time for celebrating family and friends. In addition to hazards related to gathering in this time of COVID, the holidays also bring other hazards and safety considerations. Decorations can be both a comfort and a potential hazard. Fireplaces and candles are in full swing. Hurried schedules can cause distractions. In fact, according to the National Fire Protection Association, each year nearly 47,000 fires occur during the winter holidays, claiming multiple lives and injuries, while costing nearly half a billion dollars in property damage. With safety measures in place, these dangers can be avoided.
Synchrous provides resources to members for preventative ideas and activities for safety and loss control mitigation.
