How to winterproof your workplace to avoid insurance claims against your business during the winter months.
  • During this time, we always are thinking about the Slip and Falls - and that's very logical thinking.  They happen, and they're preventable. But, there are some additional key items I want to bring up first - The first 3 below are where we tend to see the most  claims:
  • If you are utilizing an outside contractor for snow removal be sure to have a written contract which clearly outlines the contractor’s responsibilities and holds you harmless if someone slips and falls.
  • Make sure heating is provided in uninsulated or vacant spaces.  
  • Thermostats should be set at 55 degrees Fahrenheit or higher to prevent freezing pipes.  Open cabinets overnight where pipes may be located. Keep that water flowing!
  • Keep parking lots cleared of snow and ice, including sidewalks; have a snow & ice removal and salting schedule in place.
  • Make sure you have a DRY, non-slip mat at each doorway to prevent falls
  • Clear roofs from heavy snow to prevent ice dams and collapses.
  • Ensure that building overhangs, roof edges, and canopies are cleared of snow and ice build-up to prevent potential injuries from falling ice and icicles.
  • Be sure that snow is promptly cleared from the following additional areas: hydrants, stairways, ramps, entrances, emergency exits, driveways, heating & ventilation equipment.
  • Space heaters should be PROHIBITED due to the risk of fire.
Any other questions, give us a ring.  Kyle@craftbrewinginsurance.com or 717-273-2641
Be safe this season!  (and always!)
