Safety Checklists for Small Businesses During Winter
- Clear Walkways – Regularly remove snow and ice from parking lots, sidewalks, and other outdoor areas. Use salt preemptively in freezing conditions and consider a professional snow removal service for heavy storms. Encourage neighboring businesses to do the same for better public accessibility.
- Emergency Kit – Prepare for potential lock-ins during winter storms with a kit that includes first aid, a battery- or solar-powered radio, flashlights, thermal blankets, and sufficient water and food for three days.
- Absorbent Floor Carpets and Mats – Use these at entrances and exits to absorb moisture and mud, reducing slip risks. Promptly mop any standing water.
- Appropriate Footwear for Employees – Encourage wearing insulated, water-resistant boots for better traction and safety. Advise employees to take small, controlled steps to adjust to changing traction conditions.
