Customer of mine went for a walk a couple of days ago and tripped over an electric cable (black) trailed across the pavement to an electric car. Resulting in both wrists broken and face smashed, hell of a mess.
We should obviously have public liability in place to cover us (plus bright hose and warning signs).

Do you reckon she could claim on the persons house insurance?

[Smudger]

might even be a claim again the car insurer ?

Very relevant to window cleaning as we all run hoses.

Use a warning cone or three!

Biggest lesson she's learnt is pay attention when your out for a walk for your own safety. She wasn't staring at a mobile phoe when it happend or sending an email while walking was she?

Yep, and then when they trip over the cones there will be a claim

I don't mind spending an extra ten seconds to put a cone out and retrieve it when necessary.

Especially when on commercial sites and high traffic areas.

That’s the whole point of H&S time must be taken to do a risk assessment and then implement the action that needs to be taken , you don’t have to write it down unless you employ more than 5 I think it is , but not doing a risk assessment will bite you on the bum if so gives wrong and not using cones well that’s irresponsible , if you do commercial work they should be asking you for RAMS  , think you have just started employing someone?. Do you not expect them to work in a safe manner ? Lead by example it takes seconds to put out a handful of cones then you have shown that you are at least trying to avoid accidents

 A few years ago we did 3000 houses for a client. They weren’t happy with hoses, had to do them all with backpacks!

Wish I had clients. I’ve only got customers so far.
