FOOTPATH GRITTING
OLDHAM
Oldham sits on elevated ground at the edge of the Pennines with some of the highest commercial areas in Greater Manchester. The town is significantly more exposed than the Manchester city centre and experiences harsher winter conditions. Footpaths, pedestrian walkways and loading bays are among the highest-risk areas for slip and fall incidents on commercial sites in Oldham. These surfaces are often overlooked in standard gritting programmes — but they are precisely where the most serious incidents occur. A single slip on an untreated footpath can result in a significant liability claim.
West Yorkshire Gritting Co provides specialist footpath gritting and pedestrian area treatment in Oldham using compact specialist vehicles and appropriate de-icing products. Oldham has a strong manufacturing and logistics base with significant industrial estates, retail parks and commercial operations throughout the borough. We treat footpaths, pedestrian walkways, loading bay approaches, steps, ramps and entrance areas — all the surfaces where a slip and fall incident is most likely to occur.
