Rock Salt Winter Safety Checklist

When ice and frost hit, slips, accidents and shutdowns follow fast.
The difference between disruption and continuity is preparation.

Here’s a simple Rock Salt Winter Safety Checklist to help keep sites, roads and public areas safe through winter:

✅ Before Frost Hits

• Identify high-risk areas: entrances, ramps, loading bays, footpaths and car parks
• Check salt stock levels early - don’t wait for warnings
• Choose the right format: 20kg bags for quick deployment, bulk bags for large areas
• Store salt somewhere dry and easily accessible

✅ During Icy Conditions

• Spread salt early - before ice bonds to surfaces
• Focus on priority routes and high-footfall areas
• Reapply after heavy traffic, snowfall or prolonged freezing
• Keep pedestrian routes clear alongside vehicle access

✅ After Ice & Snow

• Check treated areas for refreezing
• Restock immediately - cold spells often return
• Review usage to plan ahead for the next cold snap
