Introduction:
1. Mission Statement – The Houghton College Facilities Department will provide a safe winter
environment for students, faculty, staff and visitors on Campus in an efficient and effective
manner.
2. Objective - The Facilities Department Staff is responsible and performs the snow removal
on Campus. The objective of this policy is to make certain that the access roadways, parking
lots and sidewalks are ready for incoming traffic.
3. Overview - Snow removal is most likely to take place prior to 8:00 AM for overnight snow
fall. The Facilities Department Staff performs this activity during their normal weekday
working hours (5:30 am-2:30 pm). Conditions will be monitored by the Director of Facilities
when snowfall occurs outside of the normal weekday working hours, including weekends
and holidays. If conditions dictate, the Facilities Department Staff would be dispatched to
the Campus to perform snow removal. In the event of continued snowfall, the walks and
access roadways will be cleared as needed.
The goal of the Facilities Department is as follows: to provide walkways, parking lots
and roadways that are passable and reasonably safe for vehicular traffic as much of
the time as possible within the limitations imposed by weather conditions and the
availability of equipment, material and personnel. It is recognized that due to
resource limitations and weather conditions, pavement surfaces will be snow
covered and/or slippery some of the time. The traveling public must exercise caution
and drive appropriately in those situations.”
Many of the situations faced by the Facilities Crew are influenced by the time of day that
the storm hits, the day of the week and the time of the year. We are also mindful of the fact
that residence hall occupancy, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), class sessions,
Campus events, and general campus business will dictate a varying degree of response. A
period of high level of activity, with classes in session and full residence hall occupancy,
dictates a higher level of response than would be required during periods of time when
there are no classes scheduled and residence halls are lightly occupied.
Depending on the amount of snowfall, the Facilities Department may ask that cars be
moved from certain locations in the parking lots in order to remove accumulated snow
between parking spaces. When the need arises your cooperation is appreciated.

4. The Response Plan Includes:
 Pre-season preparation checklist.
 Training and safety information.
 Snow response team and support personnel notification list.
 Equipment, parts, and supplies inventory.
 Priorities and procedures list, snow removal routes, and winter checklist.
 24 Hour pre-storm preparation.
 Up-to-date weather resources and storm reports.
Pre-Season Preparation
Well in advance of the first winter storm, meetings will be held with manager, supervisor,
employees, campus safety, and other involved representatives to explain and review the Snow
Response Plan and determine levels of responsibilities. During this pre-season preparation,
special requests, expectations, contact information, current policy and procedures, as well as
changes or modifications to the plan should be addressed.
 Pre-Season Checklist – (See Appendix A)
Training and Safety
Training of all Facilities Department employees involved in snow and ice removal operations on
Campus is mandatory and will occur prior to any winter storm activity. Depending upon
experience and levels of responsibility, employees should be trained on the safe operation of
the equipment type they will be operating and on tasks to be performed. Equipment may
include; tractors, tractor implements, utility vehicles, rented skid-steer loaders, trucks with
snow removal and salt spreading implements, salt spreaders, brushes, sprayers, blowers, and
walk behind hand held equipment. Employees should be trained in how to properly clear snow
and ice using shovels and ice choppers, and how to handle and apply ice snow melting
materials. Winter equipment operations and tasks to be performed should be evaluated to
determine the personal protective equipment (PPE) that is needed to ensure safety. Once the
PPE is identified and purchased, employees should be trained on how to us the PPE while
operating equipment or performing tasks. All training should be conducted in accordance with
the Houghton College Facilities Department Personal Protective Equipment Program and
applicable OSHA requirements and guidelines.
Snow Response Team and Personnel
Page 4 of 20
The Snow Response Team (SRT) consists of all Facilities personnel and Custodial Staff and
Management (See Appendix B). All Facilities Department Personnel on the SRT will sign a letter
of understanding indicating there understanding and willingness to be available on weekend
and off-duty hours for snow removal (See Appendix C).
The need for additional supervision is paramount during extended snowstorms. All other
Managers and Supervisors will be utilized as deemed necessary by the Facilities Director to
facilitate snow removal operations.
Equipment, Parts and Supplies
The Facilities Department is responsible for inventorying all related snow equipment, parts and
materials by October 15th, each year. All equipment should be started, tested, tuned up, and
checked for faulty parts and needed repairs. All equipment should be routinely tested prior to
the first storm and throughout the entire snow season. Any essential backup and replacement
inventory needed for snow equipment should be ordered by October 15 th. These materials
should be received and accounted for within the Facilities Department by the end of October.
All blanket purchase orders for snow-related equipment, materials, and supplies should be in
place by October 15th, and should be closed at the end of the snow season. Items for blanket
purchase orders may include:
 Equipment parts and supplies (chains, gearboxes, hydraulic fluid, batteries, etc.).
 Supplies (anti-icing, deicing, and snow melting supplies)
 Personal Protective Equipment (shovels, ice-choppers, hand spreaders).

of this, it may be necessary to find a way to relocate parking to dedicated snow emergency
parking lots.
Clearing parking lots on Campus requires the coordination and cooperation of the Facilities
Department, Campus Safety, Office of Residential Education, Students, Faculty,
Administration and others. Prior to winter and during winter, a snow emergency parking
notice will be issued by the Campus Safety Office that reviews regulations regarding parked
cars and snow removal.
Note: Vehicles that do not comply with Campus Safety notification regarding Snow
Emergency Parking may be towed at the owner’s expense.

notifications as soon as possible after mobilizing the Snow Removal Team.
i. Campus Safety – Will be notified via e-mail and phone.
ii. Vice President for Business and Finance – Will be notified via e-mail. Time of
dispatch along with weather report will be attached.
2. Guidelines for mobilizing the Snow Response Team under a Weather Related Emergency:
 When one or more inches of wet snow have fallen or are forecasted before 8:00 am.
 Sleet or iced-over conditions exist.
3. Snow Removal Priorities – The Director of Facilities or Grounds Supervisor in conjunction
with Campus Safety will make an on-site decision regarding the assignment of personnel
and equipment for snow removal. The Grounds Supervisor will assign specific equipment to
routes and specific employees to equipment if weather conditions warrant such action.
4. Snow Removal Procedures:
 Steps, walkways and entryways shall be cleared with snow shovels, snow blowers
and sidewalk plowing equipment. Handicap areas must be fully accessible.
 Clean-up operations after a storm shall involve clearing all roadway access, walks,
entry ways, and parking lots along with the de-icing of those surfaces.
i. Snow shall be pushed back from sides of access roads, walks and parking lots.
ii. Stairs and entry ways shall have all remaining snow removed.
iii. Ice choppers and ice melt applications will then be employed on remaining
ice.
iv. Applications of ice control products will follow plowing, based on present
weather conditions, or when freezing occurs, as determined by the Director
of Facilities or Grounds Supervisor.
v. Return trips to remove melted ice and slush surfaces will complete the
cleaning of all surfaces.
Page 9 of 20
vi. Depending on conditions, de-icing materials may be applied without plowing.
 When plowing parking lots, snow should be piled so as not to block thoroughfares
and sidewalk areas. If snow has to be pushed over a curbed area, it should be piled
so that it will not fall back into the lot and still be clear of any adjacent walks or
handicap accessible areas. Note: When pushing snow over a curb, the truck operator
will stop the vehicle and lift the blade as the snow is being pushed, this will help
reduce the possibility of damaging the curb and the plow cutting edge.
 Building Housekeepers are responsible for building entrances, emergency exits and
stairs located immediately adjacent to the buildings. Manual shoveling and the
spreading of de-icing materials will be required continuously during the
Housekeeper’s assigned shift. Housekeeping Staff is on duty Monday through Friday
between the hours of 6:00 am to 10:00 pm., excluding holidays. The Snow Removal
Team is responsible for all other areas including primary and secondary walks and
parking lots.
5. Snow Removal Priorities:
 It is the responsibility of the Housekeeper, assigned to a specific building, to clear
accumulated snow from the immediate areas of each building’s entrance and fire
exits and continue to do so until rotating to the next building or the snowfall ceases.
 The snow is to be cleared from the building entrances in a manner so that the
operators of the snow removal equipment can collect and deposit the snow in a safe
manner, away from the entry, exits and adjacent walks. Snow is to be cleared within
six feet of the bottom of the landing or stairwell.
 Building Housekeepers are responsible for all stairs adjacent to their assigned
buildings. Sufficient quantities of d-icing materials shall be spread in areas where ice
and/or slippery conditions are present.
 Steps and large entrances to buildings shall be partially shoveled by housekeeping
along hand railings for initial opening. Handicap entranceways are to be fully
accessible.
 It will be the responsibility of the Custodial Manager to inform the building
Housekeepers of their assigned duties to ensure that these tasks are carried out in a
timely and efficient manner. It is the responsibility of each Housekeeper to notify
their direct Housekeeping Lead or the Housekeeping Manager if additional ice melt
supplies are needed in their building. This should be checked on a weekly basis
during the winter season.
 The Snow Removal Team will be operating larger equipment used to clear walks,
drives and parking lots.
Page 10 of 20
 When the snow Removal Team is mobilized, priorities will be placed on opening all
drives and fire lanes to allow passage of emergency vehicles.
 See Snow Removal Priority Sequencing on page 12.
6. Safety Precautions and Safety Measures to be taken:
 Facilities Department Employees, while conducting their duties and responsibilities,
will observe and practice every available safety measure. It is extremely difficult for
the operators to see pedestrians and vehicles while operating large equipment.
Please allow as much distance as possible between yourself or vehicle, and the
moving equipment.
 Under ideal conditions, all concrete and paved walkways should be free of snow and
ice.
 The Facilities Department will make every reasonable effort to provide a safe
environment and improve the situation.
 Maintaining accessibility to/from handicap parking spaces, ADA curb cuts and ADA
compliant building entrances will be a high priority.
 Do not block fire hydrants or storm drains with snow piles.
 Do not pile snow in parking/drive areas to obstruct visibility and see that ornamental
trees and shrubs are not damaged by piling snow.
 As a reminder to Campus Staff, Students, and Faculty:
i. Wear boots or shoes with grip soles during adverse weather conditions.
ii. Smooth leather or rubber soles are unsafe on ice and hard packed snow.
iii. Don’t walk with your hands in your pockets; it reduces your balance.
iv. Take short or medium steps or shuffle your feet when these conditions are
present.
v. Don’t step on uneven surfaces and place your full attention on walking.
vi. Don’t allow your attention to be divided while walking on ice and compacted
snow.
vii. You’re safety, and that of the entire Campus, is of the utmost importance
and of the highest priority given by the personnel of the Facilities
Department.
 In the event that snow has to be moved from a site because it could create a
dangerous situation, it will be taken to an open area designated by the College, or
moved off-site.
 Slip and Fall Reporting- Facilities would need Security’s assistance in recording of
information in associated slip/fall incidents. When a slip/fall incident occurs the
Director of Facilities (or a representative) is notified immediately and a report is
filled out by Security. Security will take pictures of the entire site from different
Page 11 of 20
views. In addition, the specifics of the type of shoe worn by the victim should be
noted and pictures taken of the footwear. This information will help prepare a fact
sheet on the specified incident for liability concerns.
General Information
1. Vehicles that block snow removal routes will be referred to Campus Safety and could be
towed at the owner’s expense.
2. The Facilities Director shall determine when snow equipment and personnel should be
halted due to extreme weather conditions.
