AAA Workspace • Ready for Rain
Rainy Days Ahead? Let’s Get Your Workplace Ready!
Rain in the forecast? Bring on the boots, mats and smart preparation. A few well-placed supplies can help keep your workplace running smoothly when the weather turns wet.
From busy offices to school campuses and warehouses, a rainy-day game plan makes everyone’s job a little easier.
A little weather know-how
El Niño, rain clouds & the workplace
El Niño is a climate pattern involving warmer-than-average ocean temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific. It can shift winter weather patterns, but it does not guarantee heavy rain in any particular city or storm season.
Whether the forecast calls for drizzle or a downpour, tracked-in rainwater, a leaky roof or an unexpected plumbing issue can create extra work. Having a few essentials close at hand makes everyday wet-weather challenges easier to manage.
Meet Quick Dam
Rain belongs outside. Let’s keep it that way.
Quick Dam offers practical ways to contain, control and redirect unwanted water around entrances, plumbing and equipment. Many of its water-activated barriers store flat, then expand when wet—handy for keeping supplies close without taking over the supply closet.
From offices and warehouses to schools and campuses, having the right water-control supplies nearby helps teams respond to everyday wet-weather surprises.
A little preparation keeps the workday flowing—without the water!

Flood Control Wall Racks
Keep water dams and absorbent mats organized and accessible where an emergency is most likely to occur.

Welcome visitors, not slippery footprints
Wet shoes and umbrellas can bring water into busy entrances. Use scraper mats to reduce tracked-in dirt and moisture, and mark areas that need attention while staff respond.
Indoor Scraper Mats
Place suitable commercial mats at entrances to help remove moisture and debris from footwear before it spreads through the building.
Shop Scraper Mats
Caution Tape
Temporarily identify restricted or hazardous areas while a leak or cleanup is being addressed.
Shop Caution Tape
Wet Floor Signs
Give employees and visitors a visible warning when floors are wet or cleaning is underway.

The cleanup crew’s rainy-day toolkit
Simple supplies can help maintenance and custodial teams address manageable water incidents quickly. Keep them accessible and replace used supplies promptly.
Water Buckets
Useful for controlled cleanup, carrying supplies and collecting small drips where appropriate.
Shop Buckets

Shop Absorbents06 / Schools & large facilities
Put the right supplies in the right places
For campuses, multi-story buildings and large workplaces, storing every water-response product in one central closet can cost valuable response time.
Place suitable supplies near restrooms, mechanical areas, entryways, classrooms, libraries and technology spaces. Make sure custodial and facilities teams know where to find them.
