I should know better. Last night when I pulled in at home after a meeting, I noticed my gas tank was on empty. Actually, I had noticed it for awhile - you can't miss the bright orange "LOW FUEL" light glaring at you. I was tired and just wanted to get home figuring I could get gas in the morning.
The thing that dawned on me when I pulled in was this thought - What would happen if there was an emergency in the middle of the night and I needed to drive somewhere like the hospital. In an emergency, there is no time to stop and get gas. As a risk manager, I should know better.
Think about your business. Are there any "LOW FUEL" lights on for you? Being prepared for anything goes a long way in mitigating catastrophes. Whether it's making sure your office, yard, or plant are cleaned up at the end of the day; or ensuring all your commercial vehicles are properly maintained for the morning, may make a difference in the safety of your employees and others that come in contact with your business. Ultimately, it will reduce your risk exposure and your insurance costs!
