Each year the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers Association (IIABA) and Reagan Consulting, an Atlanta-based management consulting firm, join forces to study the country’s leading insurance agencies.  The purpose of the Best Practices Study is to compile the operating statistics of the country’s leading insurance agencies.  To achieve this objective, the insurance agencies included in the annual study must first be nominated for participation by their peers and/or insurance companies to participate in this study group.  The insurance agency must then submit detailed financial and operational information which is analyzed, scored, and ranked objectively for inclusion in the study on the basis of operational excellence including growth, profitability, productivity, and financial stability.

Fireworks Safety – July 2014

At Bogle Agency Insurance, one of the things we strive for is your safety under all circumstances! And during our country’s independence month, firework safety is very, very important.

We know everybody likes to have a little fun over the July 4th holiday, especially with the vast array of firecrackers, colorful bottle rockets and high-flying missiles available for purchase, but we urge and stress you to DO IT SAFELY. With that said, here are some great guidelines to maintaining the fun, while maintaining your fingers too!

The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public fireworks show put on by professionals. Stay at least 500 feet away from the show. Many states outlaw most fireworks. If someone is setting fireworks off at home, they should follow these safety steps:

–Never give fireworks to small children, and always follow the instructions on the packaging.

–Keep a supply of water close by or fire extinguisher as a precaution.

–Make sure the person lighting fireworks always wears eye protection.

–Light only one firework at a time and never attempt to relight “a dud.”

–Store fireworks in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.

–Never throw or point a firework toward people, animals, vehicles, structures or flammable materials.

–Leave any area immediately where untrained amateurs are using fireworks.

And if you need any more tips, or further information concerning fireworks safety, please visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission at this website: www.cpsc.gov/en/Safety-Education/Safety-Education-Centers/Fireworks/

Thank you, and have a wonderful Fourth of July!!
