And now that all that is out of the way – let’s get to the Podcast!
Avoiding Slip, Trip, and Fall Hazards in Parking Lots
Addressing these hazards doesn’t have to be complicated. By focusing on maintenance, awareness, and preparation, facilities can create a safer environment for everyone.
Let’s explore a few simple ways to reduce these risks:
- Fix Surface Issues Quickly
Cracks, potholes, and uneven pavement create tripping risks. Schedule regular inspections and repairs to keep walking and driving areas smooth and safe. - Use Clear Markings
Highlight pedestrian walkways, speed bumps, and vehicle paths with reflective paint or signs. Clear markings guide traffic and reduce confusion. - Keep It Well-Lit
Good lighting is essential. Replace burnt-out bulbs immediately and ensure all areas are well-illuminated (Especially significantly darker areas). - Prepare for Weather
Snow, rain, and ice are unavoidable, but preparation makes a difference. Stock up on salt, shovels, and other equipment, and assign snow removal duties in advance. If you hire contractors, make sure they understand your expectations. - Walk Safely
Encourage employees to wear sturdy, slip-resistant shoes. In icy conditions, remind them to take small steps, point their feet outward, and move slowly—like a penguin.
A safer parking lot starts with attention to detail and preparation for weather changes. Beyond physical fixes, keep employees informed with regular reminders.
Awareness can prevent incidents before they happen.
By following these steps, facilities can significantly lower risks and demonstrate a commitment to safety.
