Cheshire Community Action (CCA) issues a guide to Snow and Ice

CCA has put tother a useful one page guide for village halls – they note that committees often worry that by clearing snow and ice from pathways, entrances and car parks in an effort to make them safer means that someone could claim if they then have an accident. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) advises that accident prevention should be put ahead of fears about being sued because someone has slipped on a surface that has been cleared.
The Guide covers the following topics: -

Be Prepared
Risk Assessment
When clearing snow/ice
Staying safer in snow and ice
