Don’t let snow ruin your business
Some people love snow, others less so. For those of us who have to go to work, drive any distance, or run businesses, the snow can be costly, inconvenient, and hazardous. If you can simply spend the day making snowmen and snow angels then it is probably just fun! Your staff may be crossing their fingers for a snow day, but severe weather can cost the British economy £1 billion per day. How much will your business lose if you have a snow day? Remember the cost isn’t just in that one lost day of productivity. The cost lies in the repercussions of that wasted day, the projects that fall behind, the meetings that were cancelled, the sales that may have taken place, that didn’t. The cost of the weather can be far-reaching.
Make sure you keep people safe
If you do tempt your employees into work, or your customers into your business, your risk can be increased. Are your pathways clear? Is there an increased slip hazard? Are your car parks safe? Incorrectly cleared snow can impact and leave dangerous areas that could potentially lead to someone falling and injuring themselves. At which point it would have been safer simply to shut your premise and wait for the snow to melt. An individual injuring themselves on your premise can have far-reaching implications.
Professional snow clearing services
Using a professional snow clearance service enables you to keep your business functioning throughout difficult weather conditions. It can help to keep your business open, enabling your employees to come to work, allowing your supply chain to continue operating. Keeping your site or business snow-free will encourage customers to venture out, particularly if your competitors are struggling with the inclement weather conditions.
Good planning helps reduce stress
Making sure that your pathways are cleared, that your car parks are safe, that the people that use your site can freely move around without fear of slipping will encourage them to continue as normal. Sometimes it may be necessary to create snow routes, maybe only using a certain entrance or a particular area of the car park. Planning for snow is a vital part of your business continuity, and having a snow plan in place reduces the stress associated with severe winter weather conditions.
Professional snow clearance equipment
Snow comes in different forms, some snowstorms only produce a fine layer that can be cleared by hand, other times a heavy storm can leave a deep layer of snow which is better cleared with mechanical snow clearing equipment such as snowploughs. It is important to understand the best way to clear the snow, given both the nature of the snow and the surface underneath. Incorrect snow clearance can damage the underlying surface causing problems after the snow has cleared. With our experience we will be able to clear your snow in the correct way for the circumstances and the conditions, providing you with all the benefits of snow clearance without damaging your environment in the process.
