Smoke Detectors
We recommend that all homes have at least one working smoke detector fitted per floor level. They should be tested every week, and vacuumed out every six months. Don’t remove batteries from smoke detectors to provide power for Christmas presents.
Take the time to check on elderly relatives and neighbours this Christmas- make sure they are fire safe.
Merry Christmas from us all at PSC
On the 9th day of Christmas
Night Time Routine
A closed door gives added protection against the spread of fire, we recommend that all doors are shut before going to bed, this will give valuable extra time to escape should a fire occur.

Christmas Lights
Christmas lights, which are left on overnight, are an unnecessary fire risk. Please ensure that Christmas lights are switched off before going to bed, and turned off when vacating the house.

Safty Tip
When not in use electric blankets should be stored as flat as possible. An approved electrician should test them annually. If you have any doubt about the condition of the blanket, replace it with a new one. Ensure than you use the blanket in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, and than you switch them off before getting into bed.
Have a safe Christmas enjoy the break and good luck in 2007 our thoughts will be with you.
Merry Christmas from PSC

Home Made Decorations
Over the last few years we have attended a number of fires caused by candles being placed in home made decorations (usually made by children). We would strongly ask that schools and parents think about fire safety before making these types of decorations.
Seasons greetings to all from PSC
Every year Britons go out and spend big on festive goodies, but many do not realise the strain this places on their home insurance.
This Christmas UK residents are set to spend £11 billion on presents, decorations and seasonal food - some ten per cent more than last year, figures from More Than reveal.
And as well as adding a considerable amount to the value of home contents, this festive spending surge also makes homes more attractive to burglars and more at risk from accidents and fires.
Presents under the tree mean homeowners are 13 per cent more likely to be burgled in December than any other month of the year, More Than data shows.
Additionally, fires are more likely to occur, with candles adding to the festive spirit and plugs stuffed with plug-in Christmas lights and decorations.
This means that claims on home insurance become far more likely at the very time when people have contents worth more in their homes.
"We tend to splash out on presents and food at this time of the year and therefore have more valuable items in our homes," said Mike Holliday-Williams, managing director of More Than.
"This should be a happy time but opportunistic thieves do strike during the festive season, so it’s really important people make sure they are doing everything they can to prevent burglary or other disasters in their homes."
Homeowners should also check their home insurance policies to ensure they have enough cover over the Christmas period.
Some providers will also automatically increase the amount of cover available at this time of year.

Paul Coughlan of PSC said “Ben Kench the CAN CAN man has definitely helped boost our business and to receive not one but two awards was Fantastic and the glass trophy and paperweight will take pride of place in the office from Monday”.
We have worked for just over a year with Ben and his team and by making small changes every month our turnover has gone up over 200% we have been able to turn to Ben for advice when it is needed.
And the other companies who we trained with and attend the monthly sales training course have been a great help to make us realize we all face tough decisions but by helping each other and listing to their problems we feel we have learnt so much all we can say is keep up the hard work and your rewards will come.
And finally to Ben Kench and his team thank you, you are making a difference everyday, I would recommend your training program to everybody you make it fun and you are always there to talk to, to share our success and build us up when we are down you not only are a great company to work with but a true friend I want to congratulate you on your success in landing the contract with business dummies and look forward to many more years of you boosting my sales and personal development.
