When winter sets in, the added task of snow removal pops up again. Though one can never know for certain when the first snow will fall, it’s imperative to have a plan in place before the need for a snow plow arises. Safety, liability and a reliable plan are key to a stress-free winter season.
Ice Safety Basics
Snow accumulation causes ice buildup, which can quickly lead to slippery conditions. Ice is often mistaken for a wet patch, making it one of the greatest winter hazards. Whether in a parking lot or on a driveway, black ice needs to be dealt with quickly and properly to prevent falls and injuries. Sand, salt and other ice-melt compounds are often helpful in treating frozen patches and preventing injuries. Properly treating icy sections is a two-step process. Often applications are applied before precipitation and then again after snow removal by a snow plow or other methods. This ensures complete removal and prevention of ice buildup.
Lessen the Liability
When ice is present, liability skyrockets. Accidents rarely happen on a schedule and ice-related falls are no exception. The surest way to lessen liability for wintery injuries is to have the driveway cleared often and correctly, so that ice never gets the chance to form.
Stormy Surprises
Winter rarely waits until a convenient time to dump six inches of fresh powder or soggy slush. One of the main challenges of snow removal is timing. Business and homeowners alike can benefit from a professional snow plow service during the winter months. Having the snow removed in a timely, expert manner leaves time in the day for work, family, a good night’s rest and other necessary endeavors. The peace of mind, safety and reduced liability provided by relying on a professional can be invaluable during the busy holiday season as well as throughout the winter months.
