Providing the grit and service to keep your customers safe in winter.
In an age where litigation and accusation can be made with ease it is paramount that you do the utmost within your capabilities to reduce the risk to your staff, visitors, deliveries, customers and patients in accordance with the HSE 1992 Act (Also including the HSE Preventing Slips and Trips at Work Act 2005) which states that in abnormal weather conditions, arrangements should be made to minimise risks from snow and ice on access routes (Pedestrian and Traffic). Meeting the requirement of this regulation can involve the application of salt and the clearing of snow.
Taking into account previous winters the only thing guaranteed is the un-expected. The Winter of 2017 / 2018 saw some of the coldest prolonged sub-zero tempartues in the last 50 years, and a late snow storm in March left many people isolated and unprepared. Yorkshire Gritters are here to help you prepare for whatever the future winters bring, and they are predicted to get worse, not better.
Operating throughout Yorkshire, Lancashire, Chesire, Darlington and South Lincolnshire makes Yorkshire Gritters your ideal solution for road, pavement and car park gritting as well as de-icing and snow removal.
We have hit November, we are in the last breath of Autumn, the clocks went back now the darkness draws in, the temperatures are dropping!
How many of you woke up last week to the suprise of having to clear the ice from your windscreen before your daily commute?
Our customers have been getting our weather warnings, so waking up to a cold snap is no longer a suprise.
