There’s nothing ‘novel’ about this pandemic. Regardless of your opinion on the severity of COVID19, it’s hard to dispute the virus’s far-reaching and lasting impact on society. Since the coronavirus made its way to our shores in early March, it has touched each and every one of us in some way or another. Almost every facet of our lives has been negatively impacted by this prevalent disease, and very little is expected to change in the near future. Restaurants and many movie theaters remain closed. Fully attended football games and concerts are a distant goal at best. Even the way in which we work or go to school has been drastically altered by this insidious disease.
Whether or not you fully support the reasoning behind these changes to our daily lives, we can’t deny its impact. Even if your business or enterprise is deemed essential and allowed to stay open during the pandemic, we can safely assume the transition hasn’t been without headaches. Almost every industry has been impacted by supply interruptions due to the lack of able-bodied workers or skyrocketing demand. With cuts in profit, businesses have been forced to make difficult decisions and unnecessary cuts in operations. Without a doubt, we can assume that some businesses have made the unmitigated decision to spend money on storage and chemical safety. With such a disregard and respect for chemical storage, disaster is only an errant spark or mislabeled container away from causing undue damage and distress.
