The Importance Of Winter Risk Assessments
Do you think your business is correctly prepared for winter? As a business, you have a legal duty of care and responsibilities to both employees and other site visitors to protect them from ice-related accidents, such as slip, trips, and falls. These plans ensure winter safety by mitigating risks, reducing liability, and keeping your business running smoothly all year round without disruptions.
Unfortunately, many businesses often fail to carry out winter gritting risk assessments or plan ahead appropriately for the colder months. Failure to appropriately carry out winter safety management plans means that for many businesses they often have no choice but to shut over the colder months due to poor winter safety and planning. Want to know more about winter risk management? Unsure about how to properly assess your risks? Let our team carry out winter gritting risk assessments for you and help you to mitigate against risks of accidents occurring on your premises. Find out more information below.
