You can minimize the impact liability losses have on your business by:

• Committing to controlling losses - minimize your exposures by implementing procedures to identify hazards and handle them in the best feasible manner.
• Maintaining good housekeeping of public access areas - ensure that all hallways, stairways, aisles and exits are free of clutter and obstructions.
• Maintaining your premises:
• - Keep outside stairs, ramps, porches and other walkways well lit and in good repair as required by local building codes.
• - Ensure railings are securely mounted to walls or stairs.
• - Clearly mark and light all exits as required by local codes.
• - Maintain clean, dry and tidy walking surfaces.
• - Use floor mats or slip-retardant floor coverings at entrances, exits or other frequently wet areas.
• - Post appropriate signs warning of wet floors.
• - Keep a spill cleaning kit of a mop and towels available and ensure wet spots are cleaned promptly.
• Creating safety procedures to control public access to attractions, such as swimming pools and work areas.
• Ensuring that established quality control procedures are followed and checking the materials that you use.
