Compensation Victory after Slip on Ice

The claimant was employed as a school caretaker. The client slipped over as she was gritting an icy area outside the school.

The judge decided that although there was an obvious risk when gritting the ice it was necessary to ensure that an employee is instructed to do a job in a safe way

In this instance the judge ruled that safe training would be to ensure that the claimant was given time to allow ice to melt before walking on it and also by ensuring that she had suitable non- slip footwear to minimise the risk of an accident taking place.
