Course Overview

Snowball fights and sledding may be all fun and games, but when dangerous sleet, hail, and slush hit the streets and parking lots in your town, snow removal can be a slippery slope. Prepare for the perils of winter by learning how to mitigate snow and ice risks.

In our half-day online Snow and Ice Removal Course, review statewide snow removal laws. Then, study modern weather forecasting to gain a better understanding of when and how much it is going to precipitate in your area. You’ll learn the pros and cons of using brine and other chemicals for snow/ice control and much more.

You’ll discuss a real-world case study and leave this program better equipped to handle the hazards of cold weather. Register today!
