Did you remind your workers to test their home smoke alarms last weekend? For many of us, it’s become a tradition to conduct this test when we change our clocks in the spring and fall. Here are a few other safety inspections you might want to remind your workers to perform twice a year:

• Test your carbon monoxide detector according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• See if your fire extinguishers are fully charged and ready for service.
• If you have a security system, make sure it’s working the way it was designed to work.
• This is also a good time to review your family's fire drill plans. Make sure everyone knows at least two ways to get out of each bedroom and each area of the house and know where to meet outside.
