Request Safety RepairSafety items you can't leave for later
An exit door that won't open in one motion, an emergency light with a dead battery, or a raised sidewalk edge isn't just a repair. It's a fire-code, inspection, or liability problem. We handle these work orders with the urgency they need and document them so you have proof the issue was fixed.
We also run scheduled safety work, like annual emergency light inspections across multiple store locations, with the checklists, photos, and sign-offs the program requires.
