Wfp Cleaning Over Front Door In Wintery Weather

[swas]

right guys, ive been using wfp with backpack last 5 months, now as winter is coming, what do you do to clean these windows over front doors when the excess water which falls down can become icy whats the best way to avoid this , or leave them, or use a pole and aplicator and blade., i think this will annoy customers who notice this happening., not wanting them cleaned wfp way. well you all know what i mean :wacko:

I have a bag of salt since a customer broke her leg in two places on ice a couple of years ago. My public liability insurance doubled because if it.

Cancel it and get another insurer?

I carry a big tub of rock salt, gleaned from my local salt bin. That's why we pay council tax eh?! Sprinkle a bit around each door as you go. Might cost you 5 mins per house, but at least you are managing to work all day.

Did you guys know that you can still be held more liable if someone still slipped on it when you have gritted it!

I either trad it, cloth it or leave it.

No!

The salt / grit in the community bins is for use only in the community – on public paths, pavements and roads and not for private use on driveways or garden paths.

am sure by gritting it, you are admitting liability bu doing, as the act is admiting it is dangerous

I have a claim against me in the last 5 years do the insurance is going to be higher. There's nothing I can do about that.

I have since changed insurer and my premium is only 50% higher. It's now £120 per year so not enough to worry about.

You're not admitting its dangerous, you're just taking all reasonable precautions to ensure that it's as safe as possible. My insurers were happy with this as a method of preventing another accident (claim).

Screw that, Our Government are legaly robbing people of there money. Its a bloody joke how much stuff is taxed these days.

Ill take any chance it get to get some back, even if that mean taking a few bags of grit from a box. lol

If it's that cold, personally I just stay at home. The really cold snap doesn't last that long (maybe I shouldn't have said that)! Saying that, I have never had any issues with the cold snap freezing above the doors and the like and forming ice. If there is ice on the roads for days then I will not work, don't see the point (apart from the money). Better to be safe than sorry.

unless you put a load down so that you cant see the path you cant always make it safe. if people see a little salt down they alwyas think its safe. plublic buildings and shops arent allowed to put salt down due to they can be taken to court if anything happens. as soon as you put the salt down you are liable for it.

So I can sue the council if I fall outside after they put grit/salt down

yes and no, the councils have to get permission from the highways agency and another department, they cant just go out and do it, and they have to say on how much they have to put down etc.

Same with your postman, if you grit your path for say your pregnant missus, an the postie slips on the bit you gritted, your liable.

However I would soak up some water with an old towel, and then lay some grit down. I doubt your insurers would pay out if you have attempted to prevent.

yer was reading more things up on this and some companys cant grit outside there door or property, but they can spread grit out side of there property boundaries. crazy world really!

best prevention is to trad them, cloth them or leave them!

Maybe best not wfp in winter if the water is going to freeze on paths. Simples....

If you put salt/grit down without the owners knowledge/permission then you are leaving yourself wide open of being sued aswell.

Chatch- twenty- two,..You are dammed if you do and dammed if you don't as so many ppl are out to make a fast buck.
