How Can Slipperiness Be Effectively Prevented?

Slipperiness Prevention and Maintenance

The maintenance company is responsible for maintaining walkways and nearby streets connected to the property. The goal is to prevent slipping hazards or other safety issues for residents and visitors. Anti-slip measures must be taken as needed, based on weather conditions and traffic levels.

 What Are the Most Effective Methods of Slipperiness Prevention?

Effective prevention relies on using appropriate methods:

• Avoid chemicals that could damage surfaces.
• Sanding is the primary method to improve traction.
• Snow removal after snowfall is essential to lower the risk of slips and falls.

Sanding Logbook

The maintenance team keeps a sanding log to record each sanding action and the amount of sand used. This helps track effectiveness and necessity, allowing practices to improve during future winter seasons.

 Maintaining the Sand Container

During winter, the maintenance company ensures that the sand container at the property is well stocked. This helps secure timely and effective sanding, preventing accidents and hazardous situations.

 How Can Residents Help Prevent Slippery Conditions?

Residents play a key role in winter safety. If you notice an especially slippery spot, you can:

• Add sand yourself from containers placed around the property.
• Or report the issue directly to the maintenance company for handling.
