The average pay-out for a workplace injury caused by falling on ice is between £15'000 up to £35'000.00.
Shocking, right? And yet the majority of businesses across the Highlands don't undertake regular salting and ice clearance of their premises throughout the winter months. Salting of commonly used walkways, car parks and high traffic areas is absolutely vital in preventing you from running afoul of the law and ensures your staff and customers are kept safe.
Did you know, during 2017, "The Beast from the East" caused nearly 40% of A&E admissions in Aberdeen alone, and 2020 is predicted to follow suit with a chilly winter forecast for this year in the Inverness area.
Maintaining these areas does not have to be a difficult or expensive task, and at Highlander Services we can help keep your business running throughout the harsh Highland winter. We understand businesses are trying to reduce their overheads currently, but ignoring these maintenance tasks could be a costly mistake. We are here to help.
