Anyone know the situation with regard to dealing with snow and ice on your property? Specifically we have a large DIY livery yard as well as business units on our place.
It's not such an issue on farm tracks but in the concrete stable yard or concrete roads etc outside units.
Neither I or my sister live on site and some customers will be on our premises from 5.00 am and others may be there at 10.00 pm. For us to grit the area is a large job and to keep it gritted would be even bigger.
Should we:
Put up warning signs, and reminder to wear sensible footware but don't grit.
Put up signs etc and provide grit and bins for tennants to grit if required according to their own judgement.
Attempt to grit but accept that we won't always cover everything everyone it's icy
I've read that if you grit you are more at risk of legal action if someone sues. Which seems bloody daft......
I hate this bloody compensation culture.....
Any usefull input?
