Households across the nation will decorate homes and gardens to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee next month. But it’s important decorations are added with risk of injury or accidental to visitors, which could prove to be very costly.
Housebuilder Barratt Home s has compiled a helpful guide to help you decorate a property as safely as possible for the Platinum Jubilee this year. Homeowners or the occupier of a property owe a duty of care to visitors, and may be liable if any accidents are caused by the dangerous condition of a property or the decorations installed, reports BirminghamLive.
Duty of care means a property is ‘reasonably safe’ including any driveway or steps. If you are aware of a specific hazard, you must take measures to highlight the potential risk to those approaching your property.
