"To Grit or Not To Grit" webinar

May 2010

The Retail and Distribution group's "To Grit or Not To Grit" webinar took place on 24 May 2010 and was very well attended by a broad section of participants interested in the subject.

Last Winter saw atypical levels of snow fall in many parts of the country.  As a consequence there was a debate about whether or not to grit retail car parks.

Zoe Perry, Associate at Bond Pearce LLP was the first to present on the topic, setting the scene from the legal point of view.

Zoe's presentation, Q&A session and her audio podcast (2Mb) are now available to download. This podcast also includes a welcome from Sean Cusack, Chair of the Retail and Distribution Group, and a technical introduction from Annalisa Marzotti, IOSH Networks eCommunications Officer.

Bernard Commons, Group Safety Liability Manager at Wincanton Group Ltd, then put forward his stance from the insurance point of view.

Bernard's presentation, Q&A session and his audio podcast (1Mb) are also now available to download. This podcast includes the closing sections from Sean and Annalisa.

We wish to thank very much our presenters Zoe and Bernard, and Sean Cusack for his welcome and closing sessions, and to all those who attended for the invaluable participation!
