Trip and access hazards

Safety concerns
Protect people and the property before normal use continues.
Trip hazards, damaged fencing, broken windows, unstable exterior components and unsafe access conditions may require temporary controls followed by a planned permanent repair.
What it may indicate
Conditions that may need prompt action.
The immediate priority is reducing exposure while the permanent scope is clarified.
Broken windows or openings
Openings may need board-up, weather protection or replacement planning.
Damaged barriers or exterior components
Fences, guards, gates and loose materials can create access or falling-object concerns.
What to do next
Limit access and communicate the condition clearly.
Keep people away from the affected area where it is safe to do so. Photograph the condition without entering an unsafe area.
Call immediately when the condition presents an active risk or the property cannot be secured against weather or access.
