Premise Liability and Pavement Care<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As a commercial business or property owner, it is your responsibility\nto ensure your premises is a safe and hazard-free environment for customers,\nemployees, and visitors. In the case that someone is injured on your property as\na result of poor pavement maintenance, you could be held legally liable for\ntheir damages and losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering,\nand more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You Can Do for Your Pavements<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

☑ Inspection:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To ensure your commercial pavements are safe for visitors, start with a comprehensive, on-site inspection. Look for debris, pooling water, crumbling curbs, large cracks, unlevel surfaces, deep depressions, humps and swells, faded paint markings, obstructed signs and entrances, and similar conditions that could be potentially troublesome or hazardous to people. Take note of what you find so that you can use your inspection notes later on to address any needed pavement repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

☑ Cleaning:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next, clear away any debris from your pavements. This\nincludes loose aggregate and gravel, broken glass, leaves, twigs, pooled water,\ntrash, and any other solid objects that can cause injuries or dangerous surface\nconditions. You can use a large broom or a power blower, but be sure to collect\nall debris in a garbage bag and dispose of it safely. Sometimes, after clearing\naway all the solid debris from your pavements, more defects and problems areas\nare revealed. Be sure to add these to your notes as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

☑ Minor Repair:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During your initial and post-cleaning inspections, if you found some damages that are severe, such as large crevices, potholes, crumbling steps or curbs, defective handicap ramps, water drainage issues, and similar conditions, it is important to either have them repaired or responsibility zoned off from public access. When your Trick-or-Treaters enter your premises for your planned Halloween activities, it is important that they are not injured or obstructed by dangerous conditions like these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
