SLINGSBY - Don't Slip-Up By Ignoring Winter
LAST WINTER was officially the coldest for more than 30 years a snow
covered large part of the UK for several weeks and temperature
plummeted to below minus-20 in some areas, which had a severe impact
on many businesses.
As the UK is once again bracing itself for snow, workplace equipment
provider Slingsby is urging businesses to plan ahead in order to
avoid the severe disruption that brought many organisations in the
UK to a halt at the start of 2010. By doing this employers can also
help to prevent accidents caused by slips and trips which always
increase during the winter months.
Lee Wright, Marketing Director of Slingsby explains: “The 2009-2010
winter was exceptional both in it severity and duration and took the
whole country by surprise. It cost the UK's economy billions of
pounds in lost trade and absenteeism and although this winter may
not be a bad, it's still false economy not to prepare for it.
“There was a major shortage of salt last winter so it make sense to
stock up on it now especially because it's cost-effective and can be
stored for long periods of time. Salt, grit and other similar
products are also one of the easiest way of preventing slips and
trips that are caused by walkways being wet or icy underfoot and the
dark nights reducing visibility.”
Lee adds: “In addition preventing such accidents reduces the chance
of businesses and other organisations having to pay personal injury
claims which are commonly associated with these types of accidents.
“It's also a good time to think about general improvements that can
be made to the premises such as placing matting around entrances
which will help to keep floors dry and using warning signs in areas
where floors become wet and slippery. Plus it's important to make
sure there is sufficient lighting inside and outside your
premises so that potential hazards can be seen and often this can
just be a case of using brighter bulbs in existing lights.”
