Policy 6.16: Snow Removal

Part 1. Policy Statement.

91福利社 (91福利社) is committed to providing a viable plan for the removal of snow and ice on campus. The snow removal guidelines provide for an acceptable maintenance level of snow removal on campus roads, walks, stairs, ramps, parking lots and building entrances. The main objectives are to minimize accidents, property damage, and personal injury and to maintain emergency access to campus.

Part 2. Responsibility.

Snow removal and ice maintenance on campus is the responsibility of the Operations Department. The Operations Department determines the procedures they will follow for the general upkeep of the campus grounds related to removal of snow and ice.

Part 3. Safety Guidelines.

  • Snow plows and snow equipment have the right of way at all times.
  • Pedestrians and vehicles should allow a wide safety area around plows and other equipment when they are operating. Equipment operators attempt to watch out for pedestrians and vehicles, but their main focus is on the operation of the equipment and the job of removing snow for public safety.
  • Walking or driving too closely behind equipment can be dangerous for both the equipment operator and the vehicle driver or pedestrian. Stay back…Stay safe.
  • Staff and students are encouraged to wear proper footwear for snowy and icy conditions.
  • Plan on taking extra time to reach destinations because of adverse weather conditions.
  • Ice and snow mitigation treatments on walks, steps, and streets are repeated throughout the day as conditions warrant, but proper care and concern by everyone traveling across campus is the best defense for a safe journey.
  • Proper snow and ice traction tires on personal vehicles are advisable during the winter months.
  • Snow berms may build up along streets and drives, and snow may be piled in vehicle parking areas. Please drive cautiously.
  • Primary responsibility for personal safety resides with you. Please be careful.
