Snow removal in front of business facilities, access roads to factories, as well as open parking lots, is an extremely important job from the aspect of safety.

There is no doubt that the first snowflakes should be removed immediately and completely. So, that ice does not form and increases the risk of accidents and injuries caused by slipping.

Since these are objects of commercial purpose, which are characterized by a large number of visitors, neither the pragmatic, or functional element, should be neglected.

If areas around a factory, wholesale shop, or any office building is properly protected, vehicles and pedestrians have unimpeded access. This means that the work will not suffer due to adverse weather conditions and will be carried out relatively normally.

Who is responsible for snow removal in the immediate vicinity of business buildings?

If we are talking about the wider environment (boulevards, streets and public sidewalks, highways, and highways), snow removal is the responsibility of public and utility companies. Such as Putevi Srbije (Roads of Serbia) or Gradska čistoća (City waste disposal).

When it comes to the area immediately bordering a business building (driveway, parking lot, sidewalk, plateau, staircase, etc.), then the obligation to remove snow is taken over by the given company. Usually by hiring the winter service of a private company that has the resources to perform this job well.

If the company in question does not do anything about snow removal, not only does it indirectly adversely affect its own business, but it also faces draconian legal penalties.

What is the right time to start preparing for the first snowfall and when to hire winter service?

Although many people think of snow removal only when they hear the weather forecast or when they see the snowflakes outside their house, this important winter activity has to be thought of much earlier. Especially when it comes to industrial locations and buildings with a commercial function.

When defining the annual budget for various expenses and purposes, responsible management of serious companies considers snow removal as a mandatory item.

Their goals are clear and inviolable:

• safety of employees and visitors;
• reduction of the risk of reduced productivity in the winter months.

Considering that most businesses set their budgets 3–4 months before the end of the year, that’s the right time to think about hiring a winter service.

Of course, the summer months are ideal for choosing the right partner for this type of business. Because most leave the decision on snow removal for the end of the year. Such decisions carry a great business risk because at that time companies that provide snow removal services have a heavily overbooked schedule!
