Landscaper’s Ultimate Snow Removal Checklist

The snow is falling and the kids are sledding, which means it’s time for you to start snow and ice removal activities. Following this simple checklist will help keep your risk down while you’re serving the local communities.

  1. Make sure there is hold harmless wording in your snow and ice removal contract. A hold harmless agreement will protect you from being sued if someone or something is damaged on the property while your service is being provided.

  2. Make sure there is specific wording in your contract for what triggers the snow and ice removal service.

  3. Keep up-to-date logs of each person, location and time snow and ice removal services are performed. In the event something is damaged under the precipitation, you want to make sure you can identify exactly who was on site and when they were there.

  4. Since we are in Oklahoma and don’t get much snow, make sure your insurance policy doesn’t exclude snow removal, as some policies may.
