subject: Car Hop Safety Precautions [print this page] Car Hops during the summertime can be a lot of fun. The weather is perfect for outdoor events. Car hops are so much more exciting during the summertime than trying to roller skate your way around snow piles in the winter time.
If you are hosting a car hop this summer be sure to plan with safety in mind. Safety is so important when you are hosting an activity. Keep your employees, and customers, safe by making preparations ahead of time.
Start planning safety measures while you are planning your car hop. You want to have everything prepared for the best. Here are just a few safety measures to consider when putting on a car hop.
Be sure that the paths are clear. Designate what paths you would like your employees and customers to use. If your employees car hop costumes requires using roller skates it is especially necessary to have a clear path, since skating in car hop costumes is not always easy for everyone.
2. Clearly mark your parking spaces. Your customers need to know where they should park. You shouldn't have them just park anywhere. Car accidents can quickly happen, or cars can be parked in pathways that you need. Be sure to mark where your customers need to park.
Clear any debris that is on the ground so people don't trip on it. Again, employees that are required to have a car hop costume with roller skates need to have a clear path, and your customer's cars need to have a clear area to park. Pick up any garbage or debris off of the ground as you notice it. Encourage your employees to be active in keeping the property picked up and clean.
4. Be on the look out for small children. The last thing anyone wants is to have someone get hurt. When you have cars involved, be especially careful to keep an eye out for small children that can run in front of vehicles. If you have an outdoor eating area, be sure to put it somewhere well away from where the cars are driving and parking.
Be aware of any incoming and exiting traffic. When you see a car entering the area scan to make sure there are no people in their way, or anything that could harm the vehicle. If you have a lot of traffic coming in you need to pay extra attention to the rest of your clients, both those in the cars and out of them.
