WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW SAFE WORK PRACTICES AROUND FLOOD DAMAGE?

Floodwaters create many safety hazards in homes and businesses. Besides the obvious damage caused by water, flood can also prove dangerous even after the water starts to retreat. Floodwater can be polluted with sewage and chemicals. Moreover, standing water can hide other dangers: sharp objects, animals’ carcasses, open manholes and electrical hazards. Any of these can create unsafe conditions for anyone entering the area.
