There will also be plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy, including rock climbing, face painting, and many different inflatables.

St. Patrick’s Day has been officially celebrated since the 17th century as a way to honor St. Patrick, who was a patron of Ireland. Although St. Patrick was not Irish, he returned to the country after escaping the country from slavery to help spread the Christian religion. He is not credited with bringing the Christian religion to Ireland.

While St. Patrick’s Day is only celebrated on the 17th in America, the holiday is celebrated from March 15th through the 19th at the St. Patrick’s Day Festival in Dublin, which is the capital of Ireland. During the Festival, there is a carnival, parade, dances, and a treasure hunt.

All of us at Cappuccino Insurance Agency in Westlake Village, California would like to wish you and your family a fun and exciting St. Patrick’s Day.

Do Not Let Slips & Trips Harm Your Holiday

Keep The Season Safe By Avoiding Common Workplace Injuries

A little slip in the parking lot or trip over the corner of a rug may not seem like a big deal, but the National Safety Council reports that 25,000 trip, slip, or fall accidents occur each day in the United States. Accidents of these kinds on the same level are the second leading cause of workplace injuries. Save yourself and your employees from hazardous situations with increased awareness around these types of incidents.

Take a walk around your business property. Are the walking surfaces uneven or marked with holes and cracks? Do puddles collect in certain areas? Are the walkways, sidewalks, and parking lots properly lit? Walking your property with an eye to potential safety hazards will help you understand the risks on your business site so you can properly address them.

How can you increase the safety of your location? Make sure all entryways offer a place to wipe off wet shoes, and that mats are secured. Provide janitorial staff with “Wet Floor” signs to mark potentially unsafe areas after cleaning. If you have a slippery floor surface like high-gloss tile or smoothly polished stone, consider investing in runner rugs for the main walkways.

In the event someone does trip, slip, or fall make sure the accident is documented. Take down the names of all of the people involved in the situation and take photographs of the hazardous area. Not only will this help you avoid similar accidents in the future, but this information could come in handy if an insurance or workers’ compensation claim is required.

Make sure your company is protected with the business insurance it needs by contacting California-based Cappuccino Insurance Agency today! Serving Westlake Village and all of Conejo Valley, our dedicated team is here to help you secure the coverage you need to make your work community a safe place.
