Moral Dilemma

[Jimbob]

I have been asked at work whether or not to grit the car parks this winter.

If we grit and someone falls we are liable.
If we don't grit we are not liable.

Would I sooner see 100 people fall and not be liable OR
Would I sooner see one person only fall but be liable.

It's a no-brainer for me so long as I can watch the 100 fall

Moral dilemma - should I spend public money or give people the personal freedom to fall flat on their arses?

Save money and watch them fall.

Why are you liable if you grit though? Surely that's doing what you can to prevent slipping?

Save money on grit and invest in cameras to stream footage to the web for all of us to enjoy.

If you grit people are entitled to presume it is safe but there might be ice underneath - hence you are considered to have done a bad job

2. People fall and people watch.
3. ????
4. Profit.

If its company property, surely they have a duty of care to provide safe access?

The Benny Hill theme will be required for the stream.

There's always one isn't there!!!

By the way we are talking about Council car parks and ratepayers money.

Wouldn't it be easier to just get some simple signs made up to advise people that they're walking on ice?

Dont grit then you can always be a hooligan and do some hand brake turns in the car park lol

Agreed with the masses, if people don't notice the cold, ice and snow and THEN wonder why they fell over..... well Darwin Awards beckons. Besides you can add your clips to this
