Trip hazards can create significant financial liabilities for communities and commercial properties. Multiple methods exist for trip hazard repair and correction, including concrete leveling, also known as slab jacking or mud jacking, concrete grinding, or replacement.
What is a trip hazard? Anything that can make someone trip is a trip hazard, such as height differences between adjacent pieces of sidewalk, sidewalks dropped below the top of adjacent curbs, or sidewalks settled around storm water drains.
Your landscaping also needs to be addressed. People frequently cut across lawns because it is the shortest route to the door they want to use. They step over shrubs and planters rather than using the walkways.
Make sure that all elevation changes are gradual rather than abrupt. You want to make sure that there are no holes or sudden depressions in your commercial properties’ lawn.
If your pool or spa areas use wooden walkways or bridges they need to be inspected frequently with an eye to their structural soundness and the evenness of their treads.
All staff and maintenance workers should also be encouraged to be involved in reexamining present control and inspection measures. They are often better placed to find and evaluate the effectiveness of the steps implemented to cut the hazards of slipping and tripping.
At Greens Keeper Landscape Maintenance we can help identify hazards on and in your landscaping and advise you on the corrections needed to help protect your commercial property.
It doesn’t matter to us whether you have lush lawns, desert landscaping or some type of landscaping in between, we can help. To find out how give us a call at 623-848-8277.
