SNOW CLEARANCE FOR WAREHOUSES & LOGISTICS SITES

Snow can quickly disrupt HGV movements, loading operations, employee access and deliveries. Agreeing priorities before severe weather arrives can make the response faster and reduce avoidable downtime.

Priority areas to identify

• Main vehicle entrances and exits
• HGV circulation routes
• Loading bays and dock approaches
• Emergency access
• Staff and visitor routes
• Areas for safely storing cleared snow

Coordinate snow clearance and gritting

For larger commercial sites, snow clearance and gritting should form one coordinated plan. Once snow is removed, exposed surfaces may still require treatment when freezing conditions continue.

Plan around operations

Warehouses and distribution centres often operate around the clock. A winter plan should consider shift changes, delivery peaks, loading schedules and safe routes for pedestrians as well as vehicles.
