Snow Removal
- Safety first!
- Keep the parking lot and sidewalks surrounding the building free of debris, snow, and ice. Shovel after each snowfall. Keep ice melt/salt on the ground to prevent slips and falls.
- Place non-slip mats in front of entryways to prevent slipping as employees and customers enter/exit your business property
- Monitor your roof’s snow load to ensure it does not exceed its maximum capacity.
- Conduct an assessment of the snow and ice equivalent
- If you have excessive snow or ice dams, have your snow removal team safely remove the snow and ice dams
- Watch for signs of snow load damage, such as creaking sounds, a sagging roof, cracks in the ceiling or walls, water stains, and doors or windows that no longer open and close correctly
