    Keep Your Lot Safe With These 3 Snow Removal Tips

    Fred and Kristyne Hayden owners of Nashua Outdoor Power Equipment in Nashua NH, share a concern for the well being of their employees and customers and demonstrate it regularly with their efforts to maintain safe facilities.

    A good example is when winter weather creates problems. Matt Parlatore, General Manager and the crew at Nashua Outdoor work very hard to thoroughly clear the lots and remove potential slip/fall hazards. They are pictured above donning their Slip/Fall Prevention Contest prizes, NHADA sweatshirts.

    PARTNER SPOTLIGHT

    Here are some important considerations in adequate snow removal:

    1. Have a snow removal plan in advance, train on the plan and update as needed.

    Having a plan ensures that pre-storm preparations are completed, staff is aware of their responsibilities and the snow removal process is efficient and thorough.

    2. Remove snow from in between vehicles (even small storms).

    Leaving snow between cars creates a dangerous situation for both employees and customers.

    3. Ensure that your storm cleanup crew is certified in the NHDES Green SnowPro program.

    This program offers liability protection from weather related claims.

    Bonus Tip:

    Assign lot inspection and treatment responsibilities to staffers that arrive early to address hazards that presented themselves overnight.

    Nashua Outdoor Power has committed to the safety and health of their employees and customers—so can you. Feature your business in the blog and enter to win a prize through the NHADA Slip/Fall Contest.

    submit your filled out lot inspection reports, photos of well maintained parking lots or ideas aimed at preventing slip/fall injuries.

    Entries can submitted within 36 hours of any accumulating snow event by emailing bduplessis@nhada.com or through the online entry page.
