Suggestions for de-icing in extreme cold

For the worker who works outdoors in extreme cold, plan for Due North winter boot grips (VGET), Endura goatskin winter gloves (G909) with Thinsulate lining, 3M Solus amber anti-fog safety glasses (YAS1103) for dim early mornings, a Pioneer 6930 orange detachable high-visibility vest (V6930) and an orange acrylic balaclava (V316) designed to be worn under a hard hat. Complete the outfit with the lined Terra orange high-visibility winter coverall (V116571) and the winter hard hat liner (V320) with mouth cover.

For a complete de-icing station, keep the ice melter in the RMP heavy-duty 5.5 or 10 cu ft salt and sand bin (BRMP), lay the Zenith rubber outdoor mat (PIZE) at the entrance, keep the Meltco Premium (MELTCO50) ice melter for moderate cold, remove slush indoors with the 24 in floor squeegee (SS524) and isolate icy areas with a 36 in traffic cone (EPTCONE36).
