Did you know…
HSE can prosecute or close down your company if you have not taken the necessary precautions to reduce the risk of slips and falls on your premises due ice or snow.
The most common method used to de-ice floors is gritting as it is relatively cheap, quick to apply, and easy to spread. Rock salt (plain and treated) is the most commonly used ‘grit’. It is the substance used on public roads by the highways authority.
Salt can stop ice forming and cause existing ice or snow to melt. It is most effective when it is ground down, but this will take far longer in pedestrian areas than on roads.
Gritting should be carried out when frost, ice, or snow is forecast or when walkways are likely to be damp or wet and the floor temperatures are at, or below freezing. The best times are early in the evening before the frost settles and/or early in the morning before employees arrive. Salt doesn’t work instantly; it needs sufficient time to dissolve into the moisture on the floor.
