A brief description of the snow and ice removal program, policy, or practice:
The Facilities Management Department prioritizes chemical-free snow and ice removal tactics. Salt diluted with sand is used as a last resort on walkways that are especially dangerous like stairs and near the hospital facility. All efforts need to be compatible with the surrounding landscape. Sweeper machines are used to remove ice.
