To reduce the impact on businesses of days of snow, we recommends that the following steps are taken immediately:
- Review your Business Continuity Plan; think about how you’ll best be able to service your customers, suppliers and key stakeholders if your business is disrupted.
- Give early warnings of any problems to your customers and suppliers.
- List (in a safe place) the telephone numbers of the people you may need to contact, e.g. insurance company, emergency plumber/electrician.
- Encourage staff to plan alternative routes to work in the event that their usual route is disrupted.
- Speak to your IT department to enable more of your staff to be able to work from home.
- Priority areas should be salted and gritted in advance. Arrangement should be made for access routes to be inspected regularly. Temporary signs denoting safe routes may be necessary.
