Premesis Liability
Episode 86
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Accidents happen. People fall, things break and products fail in all kinds of environments on a daily basis. Premises Liability claims involve ascertaining whether the landowner is liable. It's a required that property owners must maintain safe premises for patrons and invitees, even foreseeable trespassers. Many of these cases involve slips, trips and falls, in which human factors design principles are often violated, leading to the inability to detect and indentify the hazard in enough time to avoid it. Common examples are sidewalks in disrepair, location and design of retail displays, and visibility and lighting issues. Other needs for safe premises are locations where railroads are located in close proximity to pedestrian generators and accumulators, such as shopping centers and community parks. Passing locomotives and trains are considered an attractive nuisance, which draws onlookers, especially children. Effective safeguards are essential to protect the public.
