Why should you procure Winter Specialist Resources?
Preparing for the winter months provides a wide range of benefits for organisations and the wider community, including:
- Improving driver safety – Increased visibility and traction on the roads for better vehicle handling and control, reducing risk of road traffic accidents.
- Adhering to Public Service Vehicles Regulations – Vehicles owned by Public Sector Organisations in the UK must meet specific requirements for suitability of use during cold weather. This includes passenger vehicles such as buses, trains and coaches.
- Maintaining accessible pathways – Ensuring pavements and footpaths are safe for the public, especially to access integral locations such as houses, doctor’s offices and supermarkets.
- Adapting to Climate Change Projections – The UK has highly fluctuating temperature levels and global warming is creating much wetter winters, increasing road surface hazards. It’s more important than ever to be prepared!
- Clearing the way for Emergency Services – Reducing ice formation on roads and clearing thick layers of snow to improve ease of access and timely journeys for urgent response and same day emergency care, including visiting patients at home who have a disability.
The positive impacts on individuals and the wider public sector are endless, so contact our Vehicles Team today and make sure your organisation has the appropriate tools to prepare for the winter months:
