Posted By CFT One of our sites is a shared business park between enormous sheds and grade A office use, the highways are extensive as it traffic flow, I have grit and snowploughs on stand by; the grit goes down when the roads become icy to avoid people sliding around possibly crashing and killing themselves, the pavements are gritted to help stop slips and falls that may also kill a person. All other sites receive a similar treatment and amazingly, really amazingly with tens of thousands of daily vehicles, 1000 + of HGV's and up to 8,000 people just on one site, we have not had one incident ice related in 5 years (that is the time this one has been there) Absolute shoe menders springs to mind therefore in your particular situation. Guilty as charge m'lud for trying to keep em safe! CFT

Posted By David J Jones Quite simply - Duty of Care. If the car park belongs to the hotel and it is known to become frosty/icy/slippery - aka dangerous - then there can be no action other than to grit/salt.

Posted By Merv Newman They don't have to "admit" that there is a problem. The fact that there has already been an incident is good evidence that the problem already exists, that they have knowledge of the problem, and "admitting" or not would not excuse them of future liability. Grit and/or be damned. Merv I've heard this one before "yeah, your right, harry broke his leg, but we can't do anything because that would be admitting it was our fault"
