Posted By Jayne Freeman Hello, We are currently reviewing our Adverse Weather Policy, in this policy it states that paths and driveways should be gritted. An employee is designated with this task and also a deputy. Grit bins do not seem to have been supplied. I have stated to the Managers, that manual handling and PPE issues are implicated. There is also the issue of litigation if an accident occurs, especially as our employees are mainly district nurses and are not trained 'gritters'. But we also have a duty to protect the public who visit our clinics. Has anyone implemented a successful Adverse Weather Condition policy and does anyone have any comments or thoughts on this issue that would be useful to take to a meeting. Your comments would be appreciated. Regards, Jayne Freeman

Posted By John Webster With respect to driveways, access roads and car parks to and within our premises we are negotiating with our local authority to provide us with a service when they treat the adjacent main roads. John
