Keep Your Garage Clean & Safe

  • Make sure there is good lighting in your garage.  Add more light fixtures if needed.
  • All items should be kept in their designated area.
  • Keep floors clear and immediately clean any grease or spills.
  • Store paints, toxic chemicals and pesticides in their original containers clearly labeled and safely out of reach of children.
  • Keep flammable items away from heat sources and work areas.
  • You should not use any power tools with frayed or tattered cords.  Unplug tools when they are not in use.
  • Never exceed specified weight recommendations for cabinets and shelving units. Make sure weight is evenly distributed and store heaviest items closest to the ground.
  • Make sure you have a small ladder or step stool within easy reach to help you when reaching for items stored up high.
  • Keep a fire extinguisher in your garage
