A lot of companies may have a car park for employees, with clear marking for spaces youd think that car parks should manage themselves but sadly some car parks can become a right mess if left unattended or signposted. Left to their own devices motorists will often park in the first space they set eyes on but this can be trouble as you may end up driving down the wrong aisle or cause a big queue.
There are some measures available though that can help you effectively organise your workplace car park so that all the instructions are clear to your employees. Firstly you need to have clear signs indicating where the car park is and how to get in, clear entrance and exit signs can get this job done, as well as having some form of barrier or gate so that you can close the car park during out of office hours.

Failure to do so could allow other motorists or joy riders to enter your property and they could dump their car on your property creating an entirely new headache. As well as securing your car park you need to ensure that people are parked in the correct places, sometimes people who wither do not work at your company or dont park in a designated bay can cause an obstruction, if this is on private land (your business) and you have clear warnings that vehicles can and will be clamped then you are within your rights to clamp any vehicle breaking your rules.
The motorist who has parked illegally will no doubt not try parking on your property again after this measure, helping to keep your car park clear of obstructions which could hinder any other car park users.
There are other car parking accessories available that can help you make sure your car park is clearly signalled such as speed humps, putting speed humps in your car park will encourage motorists to take their time when driving on your property. This will lower the number of collisions as drivers are driving slow enough to stop suddenly if anyone were to pull out of a parking space suddenly.
Caring for your business car park is another important task you will be responsible for, none more so than in the winter. Snow and ice can be a nightmare in a car park with many cars in close proximity to each other, sliding on the ice can occur with cars pinging into each other like pin balls. Its important that you use rock salt or any other ice melting substance to make sure that not only your car park but all pavements are safe for cars and pedestrians to walk on. A lot of car parks will have a grit bin and either a shovel or spreader which can distribute the salt out on to the car park surface to ensure that your car parks are cleared in time for when employees arrive.
If you have a car park on your property then you should consider what safety equipment you can get to make sure your business premises is safe such as
safety signs
and
salt packs
for winter.
