CACI No. 1004
Obviously Unsafe Conditions
If an unsafe condition of the property is so obvious that a person could
reasonably be expected to observe it, then the [owner/occupier/one who
controls the property] does not have to warn others about the dangerous
condition.
However, the [owner/occupier/one who controls the property] still must
use reasonable care to protect against the risk of harm if it is foreseeable
that the condition may cause injury to someone who because of necessity
encounters the condition.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
