Tips to prevent liabilities that can arise with the changing seasons.


Three D Industrial Maintenance Hawthorne New York


During the fall commercial property owners and managers face seasonal challenges due to the accumulation of leaves and sticks in parking lots. Daily sweeping can alleviate much of the frustration and prevent liabilities that often arise with the changing seasons. Here are a few important points to keep in mind:


Safety should always be the top priority in parking lots for both pedestrians and drivers. If not cleared regularly, fallen leaves can become wet and slippery, accumulating with other debris and creating hazardous conditions.


Did you know that it takes more than three times the distance to stop a vehicle on wet leaves compared to a dry road? The water on top of the leaf's waxy coating creates a slippery film, similar to ice, making driving and walking on leaves dangerous. Sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots can all pose a risk when wet leaves are present.


Three D offers a fleet of leaf sweepers and vacuum vehicles designed to efficiently collect and remove leaf litter and organic debris from commercial properties. These hazards can be minimized by following a regular maintenance schedule, ensuring a safer environment and clear paths for both drivers and pedestrians.


Even if your property isn’t near a lot of trees, it’s still crucial to maintain a consistent cleaning routine—wind can carry leaves, dirt, and debris from nearby areas. In the end, seasonal cleaning is essential to keep your property safe and looking its best for customers, parishioners, or employees.
