Winter Tips: Frozen Car Doors

12/3/2019

 
Prevent car doors from freezing | ABIS

​When dealing with the frigid temperatures of winter, there’s not much worse than coming out to your car to find the doors frozen shut. According to Lifehacker, car doors can freeze because water from rain or snow gets into the rubber seal, or gasket, around the door and then freezes when the temperatures drop. Fortunately, using nothing but ordinary household cooking spray, there may be a simple trick to get out of that situation. 

Apply the spray to the door’s rubber seal weekly during the coldest winter months, or as needed before expected icy, frigid storms.

Business contracts | ABIS
Businesses frequently enter into contracts with suppliers, vendors, independent contractors, landlord/tenants, and other service providers.  

In those contracts it is common to find language which transfers the liability of one party to the other in the event that bodily injury, property damage (tangible and intangible) and other liabilities arise out of the contractual relationship. The liability may involve both insurable and non-insurable liabilities upon the contracting parties.

The contracting parties, and their supporting legal and risk advisors should review in detail the contractual language and what liabilities may be assumed due to the contract. 

Contractual Risk Transfer is one of the five traditional risk management techniques within a business.

Protect yourself from UV rays | ABIS
Happy National UV Month! July is a month dedicated to educating yourself and protecting your skin from damage that can occur from the sun.

However, UVA and UVB rays have been known to cause damage to skin cells which can result in sunburn and wrinkles or as much as skin cancer. No UV rays are safe to the skin without protection!
