Vehicular traffic

Staff undertaking snow and ice clearance, need to be aware of traffic movements in their immediate vicinity, and to be able to take evasive action in the event that a car or other vehicle loses control on a slippery surface.  To that end it is advised that staff face on-coming traffic, wear bright visible clothing e.g. reflective jackets or bands, do not cover their ears completely with ear muffs or hats or use earphones to listen to music. They should look and listen for traffic, and have an escape route planned.
