We know that the last thing you think about on short shopping excursions is getting hurt. It’s certainly not a regular occurrence. Unfortunately, negligence on the part of a store’s employees can lead directly to customers getting hurt.
First, stores need to ensure that their parking lots are safe. This includes not having uneven or cracked curbs and pavement. Also, the parking lots need to be well-lit to deter criminals who may want to rob customers at night.
Spills need to be cleaned immediately. slip and fall accidents cause too many injuries each year, but most of them are preventable. If store employees fail to clean a spill quickly or do not put proper warning signs up after they mop, customers could get hurt.
If there are broken shelves, they should be fixed or replaced immediately. A broken shelf could cause items to fall and injure customers. They could also have sharp exposed edges that could cut patrons.
There are plenty of chemicals around stores, necessary to keep the place clean. When employees are finished with them, they should dispose of them properly so that customers, particularly children, do not get harmed.
There should be nothing left in the aisles for customers to trip over. Employees should regularly check aisles for items that are left out by customers. They should also ensure they clean up any cardboard boxes after they finish stocking shelves to prevent people from tripping over them.
