Emergency Closings: Inclement Weather

Your company will want to establish procedures for instances when unusual conditions such as extreme weather, power outages, and equipment failures make it impractical to operate the facility and, possibly, endanger the health and well-being of your employees. Essentially, your type of business will govern the general policy you have for closing during bad weather. For example, if you are a healthcare provider, such as a hospital or nursing home, you will be open during inclement weather and other emergencies. On the other hand, if you are a retail outlet, you will probably not want to be open because you will not have many customers.
