Foot traffic in entryways
No winter weather injury should stand between you and justice
The areas closest to a building's entryway can pose a number of injury risks as a result of winter weather.
Those risks include the following:
- Melting snow brought in on the shoes and clothes of people entering the building may form a puddle just inside the door;
- Excessive snow melt material may remove any ice, but leave behind a level of sand or crystals that make traction difficult;
- Snow melting from a roof overhang several days after a storm may drip down and refreeze to form an ice patch.
These potential risks and others make a high degree of caution incumbent on any property owner or governmental agency. It is especially true for buildings in which the elderly or children can reasonably be expected to be entering and exiting.
