Safety Training
Snow buildup on any surface for too long poses safety risks for slips and falls. Always clear snow buildup as soon as possible to avoid black ice bonding, and more serious structure issues such as roofs and decks premature failures. When cleaning off decks, use a small shovel and remember: LESS IS MORE. Your back and heart will thank you after the smiles kick in!
Snow & Ice Build-up
To ensure the well-being of both our ecosystems and human populations, We, together must minimize environmental impacts by considering using Eco-friendly de-icing materials combined with conservative and sustainable best practises.
When it comes to combating ice, We as humans have a social responsibility to our environment.
We are ultimately responsible for our proactive practices and how much agents we apply.
It is our responsibility to reduce natural impacts!
For CONCRETE surfaces it is best to use calcium chloride as regular road salt and/or ice melt products will open pores of concrete when moisture is trapped in existing cracks therefore new cracks and surface expansion will follow.
