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.

  • You might be on this already but its worth thinking about the demographic of your workforce and the location of your clients. You can then assess who needs appropriate footwear (possibly rucksacks as well as often carers take food shopping to clients during bad weather) and who will need to travel or be visited by car. You may also want to have a contingency list of employees who live more locally to clients or those who have access to a 4x4 and are willing to help on an ad hoc basis during bad weather.
