Jackson College Snow & Ice Removal

Snow Removal Plan

We’ve developed a comprehensive snow removal plan, updated annually, which designates two snow removal crews working in staggered shifts. This plan ensures ample staff are scheduled to operate equipment and maintain adequate manpower reserves, guaranteeing a clean campus even during prolonged snow events

What type of product is used in the winter for snow and ice removal?

The Facilities Department uses a new de-icing agent, Liquid Snow Shovel, on Central Campus sidewalks in the winter.  Liquid Snow Shovel is sprayed on sidewalks prior to each snowfall.  Liquid Snow Shovel reduces the time spent removing snow, keeps granular salt off the building floors and carpets, and is eco-friendly.

Winter Safety

The Facilities Department prioritizes the safety of everyone on campus during the winter season. Here are additional precautions you can take to ensure your safety:

Exiting Your Vehicle:

1. Maintain three points of contact while stepping out of your vehicle.
2. Use your vehicle for support when possible.
3. Exit the vehicle before retrieving any items.

Walking:

1. Plan your walking routes and stick to cleared and treated surfaces whenever possible.
2. Wear appropriate footwear and walk cautiously.
3. Use handrails when available, especially in slippery conditions.
4. Minimize distractions like talking on cell phones or carrying heavy loads.
5. Wear gloves to keep hands warm and available for better balance.

Entering a Building:

1. Watch out for melted snow or ice, as melted ice may refreeze overnight, creating slippery spots.
2. Wipe your shoes on mats to prevent tracking snow and ice indoors.
