NHADAWinterWeather Slip/ Fall Prevention Contest is a Great Way to Add Fun toWinter StormCleanup Activities Snow removal and storm cleanup days aren’t the easiest days to work at NHADA member locations. It’s always windy and freezing cold after a good snowstorm, and moving snow is physically demanding, making for tough conditions for staff. Winter storms are one of the leading causes of employee injuries. However, NHADA members can make the best of the weather situation, have a little fun, and spoil employees to participate in the NHADA Winter Weather Slip/Fall Prevention Contest. The NHADA Winter Weather Slip/Fall Prevention Contest is a risk management campaign aimed at creating awareness of winter hazards, documenting the extensive efforts made by NHADA members to keep people safe and building employee morale. To participate, members need to email pictures of cleanup activities or slip/fall prevention ideas/ hacks to their NHADA Loss Prevention Representative or Brian at bduplessis@nhada.com. Members are allowed one entry per weather event, and EVERY entry wins a fabulous prize! Prizes include gift cards, NHADA apparel/swag, snow brooms, etc. At the end of the season, the member with the best entries wins the grand prize. Last year’s grand prize winner, Quirk Auto Dealers of NH, hosted a great catered party with a raffle for their employees in November. Quirk was chosen for their multiple entries, which included a novel idea from Steve Clermont, Facilities Manager, who places buckets full of salt at the base of gutter drains to keep the run-off from refreezing.

Ideally, there is little to no snow to clear. But when storms do occur, we strongly encourage members to participate as a way of documenting the work performed to keep employees and customers safe and to award employees whose hard work makes it happen.
