Plummeting temperatures and heavy snowfall can wreak havoc on your commercial facilities causing property damage and, in some cases, workplace injury.
And, virtually all regions are at risk. If you find yourself in a consistent heat zone, for example, you may still experience unusual winter activity. When the unexpected occurs, your facilities could suffer more because they are not properly equipped for harsh winter conditions.
So, what can you do? Following checklists to prepare your facilities is a good start, but this must be coupled with routine inspections throughout the season. With the iVueit app, you can check out all your sites from the comfort of your home or office. Real-time photos and survey data help you make better decisions before during, and after extreme winter conditions.
