Essential Winter Safety Tips

Winter weather can disrupt operations and create safety hazards for businesses. Snow and ice on walkways, car parks, and access roads increase the risk of slips and falls. The solution? A proactive approach using grit bins, de-icing salt, and spreaders. These tools are essential for keeping your premises safe and accessible throughout the season.



Why Grit Bins Are a Must-Have

Grit bins provide convenient, on-site storage for salt and grit, ensuring quick response when conditions turn icy. Durable and weather-resistant, bins like our Stackable HEX Grit Bin (115–350 Litre) are designed to withstand harsh winter conditions while saving space with their stackable design. Placing bins strategically around your site means your team can act fast to prevent slips and falls.

Tip: Regularly check and replenish your bins to avoid shortages during peak cold spells. A well-stocked bin is your first line of defence against winter hazards.


 

Salt and Grit: A Powerful Combination

Salt melts ice, while grit adds traction, together, they provide comprehensive protection. Our White De-Icing Salt (25kg bags) is ideal for melting ice efficiently, and when combined with grit, it reduces the risk of accidents on slippery surfaces. Keeping a supply on hand ensures you’re prepared for sudden temperature drops.



Spreaders: Efficiency Meets Safety

Even distribution is key to effective winter maintenance. Manual spreading can be time-consuming and uneven, leading to wasted material and unsafe patches. The Cresco 8SW Grit Spreader offers precision and ease, helping you cover large areas quickly while minimizing waste. Investing in a quality spreader saves time, reduces costs, and ensures consistent safety across your site.



Benefits Beyond Safety

Reduce Liability: Preventing slips and falls protects your business from costly claims.

Maintain Operations: Clear, safe access keeps your team productive and customers happy.

Show You Care: Providing safe walkways demonstrates your commitment to staff and community well-being.
