Winter Safety Tip for Business Owners #3: Keep walking paths clear and well lit.

The sun rises late and sets early in winter, meaning we spend more time in the dark. As a property owner, it’s essential to install proper lighting at all sidewalks, curbs, walking paths, parking lots, and stairways to ensure guests and employees have complete visibility. Especially for businesses like bars, restaurants, hotels, and manufacturers that operate late into the evening.

Consider:

• LED path lights
• Flood lights (can be fastened to siding or staked in the ground)
• Step-deck lighting to illuminate decks/patio/stairs
• Glow-in-the-dark or reflective tape

Properly clearing walkways of snow, ice, and other potential trip hazards, like planters, can also reduce the risk of an accident occurring.
