Risk Assessment: The Bruce hotel

Part Two: visit a hotel and make note of what measures they have taken to ensure the safety of their guests in the public areas (ie NOT in guest rooms). What evidence can you see of the Hotel’s efforts to stop problems/stave off lawsuits BEFORE they happen?

Part Two is: What has this establishment already DONE to make it a safe place (which will avoid potential lawsuits).

NOTE: For both parts of the assignment, you are NOT allowed to visit hotels or restaurants on King St. I’ve given this assignment before and I can’t bear the thought of reading any more about Gabby’s or the King Eddy J

Also: Please remember that this assignment has to do with NEGLIGENCE and LIABILITY. You will probably want to discuss things like handicap (accessible) washrooms… but you shouldn’t. Accessibility is NOT the point of this assignment (we dealt with accessibility in week 2 with Human Rights law – now we’re interested in torts and negligence). But but but… you may consider accessibility from a negligence/liability perspective. For example, a wheelchair ramp like this

would probably be safe and easy to use, but a wheelchair ramp angled like this

would likely be risky and hazardous to the person and to others.

Finally, comfort is nice and lovely, but keep in mind, the focus here is safety, risk and potential liability. If washrooms are small and feel a bit cramped – well, that sucks a bit, I guess, but does it mean the washroom poses a danger? Maybe yes… maybe no…

Make sure use simple words

Hotel and risk must be found in Canada and Canada law

Must use Hotel in Ontario Thank you
