Background: One of GC's primary concerns about negligence risks and liabilities is the risks and liabilities related to potential accidents occurring in their public business space to employees and/or customers.
GC will be headquartered in commercial space in a local shopping center. This space will include private business offices, a public reception area, a conference meeting area, and space to which potential and existing clients will be invited to discuss cleaning jobs, buy cleaning products, and complete contracts for cleaning jobs. The business space will be open to the public. The shopping center in which GC will be headquartered is busy and heavily trafficked with shoppers.
Winnie and Ralph request that you do two things: (1) develop a plan to identify potential negligence risks/liabilities, and (2) recommend ways to minimize those potential negligence risks in GC’s public store facility.
GC owners will use the plan to refine policies and procedures to prevent and/or minimize liabilities for GC.
Instructions
Prepare a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation to (1) develop a plan to identify potential negligence risks/liabilities, and (2) recommend ways to minimize those potential negligence risks in GC’s public store facility.
