Suggestions for winter maintenance of entrances and parking lots

For the worker who spreads salt on sidewalks and parking lots, plan for Zenith winter boot grips (VGETZ) to walk on snow and ice, Horizon PVC-coated cotton winter gloves (G500) with a rough finish, Jackson Safety silver Nemesis safety glasses (YA3303) with gray lenses, a Pioneer 6935 detachable high-visibility vest (V6935) to stay visible to vehicles and an orange high-visibility acrylic winter toque (V318). Complete the outfit with the Pioneer waterproof orange and black winter bib overalls (V50402C) and the winter hard hat liner (V320) with mouth cover.

For a complete de-icing station, keep the salt within reach in the RMP 4.24 cu ft salt and sand bin (BRMP424) with hasp, remove mud and snow from shoes and boots with the heavy-duty cleaning brush (VC8002), lay the Zenith rubber outdoor mat (PIZE) at the door, sweep up residue with the Garant 24 in push broom (JP583) for coarse debris and mark slippery areas with an 18 in orange traffic cone (EPTCONE).
