Snow Plow Safety


back to Training Catalog Page

Learning Objectives

Swirling snow, icy roads, and poor visibility make snow removal one of the most difficult and dangerous jobs performed by public works departments. When everyday traffic and long hours behind the wheel are added to the icy mix, snowplow operators are severely tested. Snow removal is one of the most important safety activities performed by local governments. Everyone in the community, especially emergency rescue workers, count on public works departments to clear roads quickly after winter storms.

This CIRMA training and education program provides a thorough introduction to safe snowplow operation to new snowplow operators. It is also a good refresher course for experienced drivers at the start of the season. The program discusses the many new technologies that have been recently developed to improve the safety and effectiveness of snowplow operations.

Training and education program topics include:

  • Preparing for a storm.
  • Snowplow operations.
  • Defensive driving.
  • Spreading operations.
  • New anti-icing technique.
  • Cleanup.
  • Recordkeeping.
  • Hands-on equipment review.

Audience

This training and education program is designed for:

  • Snowplow operators
