The Road Traffic Act 1988 states that it is a legal requirement to have a clear view of the road ahead before setting off. To stay safe, ensure that windscreens are fully cleared of snow, ice, and mist to allow for maximum visibility. Any snow from the roof of vehicle must be cleared too.
When people enter your building, rainwater, ice, and snow from their footwear can increase the risk of slips, trips, and falls inside the workplace. To prevent this from happening, ensure you have highly effective entrance matting to both scrape off and absorb ice and snow.
