Winter Risk Mitigation Checklist for Facility Managers

Documented weather monitoring, pre-treatment of high-traffic areas, and coordinated guard patrols dramatically reduce slip-and-fall incidents. Use this step-by-step checklist to prepare your campus before the first freeze.

Winter weather arrives fast along the Front Range, and the most dangerous incidents often occur during the first freeze of the season. Our operations team partners with facility managers to stage materials, map out response routes, and align communications so residents, tenants, and customers stay safe.

The checklist covers: weather intelligence and alert thresholds; de-icing pretreat schedules by surface type; guard patrol adjustments for storm nights; documentation templates for insurance and compliance; and communication scripts for stakeholders. Download the printable PDF to assign tasks, capture completion notes, and archive photos for liability protection.

Karibbean Twist crews are on-call 24/7 during storm windows. Need help turning the checklist into a service plan? Request a site assessment and we will tailor coverage for your entrances, loading docks, sidewalks, and parking areas.
