Stock Up on Winter Maintenance Essentials
Colder temperatures and darker days mean more precautions must be taken to ensure safety at NHS sites. Estates and Facilities teams have the crucial responsibility of ensuring sites remain accessible. Snow, ice, and severe winter conditions can make areas of NHS sites such as car parks, footpaths, and entrances hazardous. With the right tools and timely planning, these hazards could be mitigated.
NHS Supply Chain: Facilities and Office Solutions team can help you to stock up on essential items to ensure your teams are equipped to deal with colder months and keep sites running smoothly. Our Batteries, Lighting, Tools and Facilities Management framework offers a range of products such as batteries, torches, and chargers, as well as winter essentials including:
- Snow pushers
- Snow shovels
- Salt spreaders
- Salt and grit
- Salt bins
- Winter grit
- Sandbags.
For a comprehensive solution, the framework also offers a winter maintenance kit that includes grit bins, a snow shovel, a high visibility vest and multi-purpose gloves.
Winter safety is paramount. Ensuring that our staff, patients, and visitors can navigate NHS facilities without worry is of utmost importance. By adequately preparing and maintaining essential stocks, our Estates and Facilities teams can proactively address winter challenges, ensuring our sites remain safe and fully operational.
