Dangerous pavement or ground conditions.
Even in fair weather, a parking lot may be filled with exposed tree roots, patches of gravel, or other conditions that make slipping more likely.
Food or liquids.
From standing water in puddles to melting ice cream cones, liquids are a major cause of slipping hazards both indoors and out.
Building code violations.
Steep gradients, lack of handrails on stairways, and other safety hazards may be in direct violation of commercial building codes.
Defective parking lot design.
People may be at risk of injury simply due to the way a parking lot is set up such as ineffective drainage that creates standing water.
