It’s already fall, and some regions of the country are experiencing shorter days and much cooler nights, signaling that winter is just around the corner. 

Ice related, on-site injuries suffered by customers and vendors creates significant liabilities for all businesses.  Additionally, workman’s comp claims skyrocket every winter for these same businesses.  On-the-job injuries caused by extreme weather are every bit as significant as an injury caused by carelessness, faulty equipment, ignoring safety protocols, or even improper lifting.  Employees who are injured when they fall on the ice, will file workman’s compensation claims because a simple fall may result in broken bones, a permanent disability, or even death, and in the right conditions a parking lot may be transformed into a hazardous destruction derby and a walkway into an ice rink.
