Free kit helps you cope with snow and ice

Despite the fact that we did not get the snow we were expecting this week, we probably haven't seen the back of the bad weather so Barbour Environment, Health & Safety's latest specialist guide could well prove useful.

‘The Barbour Kit for Coping with Snow and Ice’ features useful and detailed information on the topic of coping and working safely in cold weather conditions and is split into four parts:

· General advice for employers
· Advice for employees
· A model policy for employers on winter conditions
· A Barbour guide: Driving safely in snow and ice

Details within the kit include advice on office closures, minimum temperature, business continuity and which aspects of safety require specific focus such as slips and trips, working alone etc. Details on where to look for further information are also included.

For additional assistance the publisher has incorporated a guide which gives practical advice on driving safely in snow and ice which includes:

* Driving safely on icy roads
* How to deal with front and rear wheel skids
* What to do if you get stuck in the snow
* Handy equipment to have in the car
* What to do if you become stranded

The guide also gives details on how to prepare for the months ahead, with recommendations for regular vehicle checks along with additional sources of information to check what’s happening in your area before you travel.
