I did my travelling in the 80's, wondered if it might have been to the same of the world. I was in the Middle East mostly, Europe, and countries around the northern edge of the Med.

even with hot some days best to stay home ... throwing water onto very cold ground and will freeze to become a hazard ..... maybe im cautious but after fighting (and winning)(should post story one day) a false insurance claim for last 18+ months it makes you very aware to what can happen

Hi Ian
If you could post this story it would be very informative. I grit around doors and pathways of residential unless specifically told not to, but I wouldn't do shop fronts wfp in this weather TBH.

by gritting you are basically saying there is a hazard there which has been caused by you. H&S is a minefield. In our old place we ha da guy fall even though we had placed grit in yard. By doing so we were admitting there was a hazard there. We done what we thought was enough but guy still won his case. we had signage and grit but there is not much els eyou can do.

And by not gritting you are ignoring your responsibilities. It doesnt take a brain surgeon to know when the ground is likely to be icey, you cant debate that,  whether you are responsible or not.


Your analogy if adopted by guys that dig up the road would discourage them putting bollards, signs and hazard tape round their work area because its then acknowledging that theres a risk.

Why did the guy fall? Did he trip over your signs, slip on the ice, get tangled in your hose?

i'm saying whether you grit or not you are odds on for getting blame. Saw too many cases lost over the years in previous job. you can do everything in your power and still lose. H&S is a feckin nightmare.
