As you all know daylight savings time was Sunday March 14th and we all changed our clocks ahead an hour. But how many of you changed your smoke detector and carbon monoxide (CO) batteries? It is important to change these batteries to keep our loved one and ourselves safe.

For those who did not know as of February 22, 2010 , Amanda’s Law was put into effect, this law mandates the installation of carbon monoxide (CO) detectors in all homes in New York State.

It is important that we all remain safe on and off the job.
