Alabama Liability Insurance: Safe Entry Points to your Business Premises!
1/20/2012 3:11:00 PM
Slips, trips, and falls do not only happen on building staircases or outside in the parking lot. They can sometimes occur at entry points to buildings and in foyers. For this reason it is important to have good quality and appropriate mats at all entrances, to absorb excess water and help keep entrance areas dry and non-slip. This in turn can help reduce the risk of accidents and the need for claims on your Alabama liability insurance policy.
The design of entrance mats might be something you haven’t given much thought to, but it can be very important. Mats should ideally be around 10-12 ft in size to allow people to take several strides on them before walking-off, or even larger in size where snowfall is likely. They should be held in place by adhesive tape or strips and be kept flat at all times. Worn mats or those with rough or curled-up edges should be replaced promptly. Mats should also be changed or rotated if very wet – for this reason your business should have a stock of multiple mats.
Business owners are responsible for keeping their buildings safe for workers and visitors. For financial protection, it’s also important to ensure that Alabama liability insurance policies are kept up-to-date and that the coverage is adequate in case of injury and lawsuits!
