🌬️Batten Down the Hatches: High Wind Risk Management for Breweries and Wineries 🍺🍷
As the seasons change, windstorms can bring unexpected challenges for breweries and wineries, especially those with outdoor seating areas, event spaces, or patio equipment. While these spaces are integral to your guest experience, they can also become liability risks if not properly secured.
Here are some key tips to protect your property, reduce liability, and keep your operations running smoothly when the winds pick up:
✅ Secure Outdoor Property:
Ensure all outdoor furniture, tents, umbrellas, and decor are secured or stored. Flying objects can pose safety hazards to guests, staff, and neighboring properties.
✅ Inspect and Maintain Structures:
Regularly inspect outdoor structures, like pergolas or gazebos, for loose bolts or weak spots. Reinforce any areas that could be vulnerable during strong winds.
✅ Develop a Plan for High Wind Warnings:
Establish a protocol for bringing in outdoor equipment and communicating with staff about safety measures.
✅ Review Your Liability Coverage:
Double-check your insurance policy to ensure you're covered for windstorm-related incidents, including guest injuries and property damage.
A little preparation goes a long way in protecting your business and ensuring your guests can safely enjoy your space, no matter the weather.
