ice grippers and snow chains

Rachael Ward

We are looking at providing our carers with ice grippers for their shoes and snow chains for their cars to help them get around in the winter. Does anyone have any experience of providing similar equipment to their staff or can think of any pitfalls in doing this.

  • I agree with colleagues, but would also add that 'snow socks' might be of more use - to help people get out of an icy patch if they're stuck - than snow chains which have the draw-backs colleagues have identified. The socks would also need to be the correct size for the tyre.

    Regarding grippers for shoes, I believe the Post Office provides Post -men and -women with these.
