Winter Hazard Checklist to Help You Manage Property and Personnel Risks
Winter hazards such as snow and ice accumulations, high winds and widespread power outages can wreak havoc on business-as-usual, but implementing plans for minimizing risks before a winter storm hits can help business and property owners manage the event better.Zurich's risk management professionals have prepared a checklist of actions to consider in advance of an impending storm or when developing your winter hazard control plans.
Ground Snow Removal
Verify that snow removal personnel do not push snow up against roof drain outlets. Snow should be cleared from around the outlets so that water can easily escape.
Make sure that your fire protection equipment, hydrants,
control valves, and your fire pump room remain accessible.
Snow should be removed from around this equipment; some hand shoveling may be required.
Keep all doorways accessible and remove snow to allow egress. This is especially important for emergency exits.
Roof Snow Removal
Solicit the services of a qualified roofing contractor if you need to remove snow from the roof. Also, ensure that all OSHA guidelines are strictly followed.
Inspect roof drains to ensure that they are clear of snow
and ice. An area around each drain should be cleared to allow water to reach the drain. Remember, your roof covering can be damaged easily, so plastic shovels should be utilized. The use of calcium chloride is an effective way
to keep ice from accumulating in your drains.
High Winds
Check the roof for loose flashing. If the flashing is found to be loose, it should be secured with #8 (minimum) corrosion resistant screws long enough to adequately engage the wood nailer. The screw should have a large pan head or a washer should be used.
Check for loose rooftop equipment. Rooftop equipment may also include satellite dishes, electrical conduit, lightning protection and piping systems. Secure or
remove any equipment that is loose and may be dislodged in high winds.
Remove any debris from the roof.
Remove any ground level trash, debris, seasonal equipment or other items that can become projectiles in high winds.
Continue to monitor the exterior of the building to ensure no glass gets broken. Broken glass can lead to localized freezing of water-based systems. Any damage to the building envelope should be temporarily sealed until more permanent repairs can be made.
Power Outage
Make sure emergency power equipment is operational and that fuel tanks are full.
Test any small portable generators that you rely on and fill their fuel tanks. Remember, these should be used only in a safe,well-ventilated area.
Monitor building temperatures if your building heat is lost
due to a power failure. If temperatures fall below 40
degrees Fahrenheit, safeguards should be taken to protect water-based systems against freezing.
