Maintain Safety, Limit Liability, and Reduce the Environmental Impacts from Salt 
The schedule is now out for the Green SnowPro training courses for winter maintenance professionals. Trainings will be held in Salem, NH on September 30, 2015 and in Portsmouth, NH on October 5. See below for the schedule and other locations. Training attendees are eligible to be a Certified Salt Applicator by the NH Department of Environmental Services and receive liability protection from ice related slip and fall cases. For anyone already Green SnowPro Certified, the required Professional Development Courses are also being offered this fall. This is a great opportunity to encourage your local winter maintenance professionals or municipal staff or contractors to learn the latest in winter maintenance practices to maintain safety, limit liability and reduce the environmental impacts from salt.
Why Get Certified?
Road salt is corrosive, expensive and harmful to local drinking water, lakes, rivers and streams including. But salt is often necessary to ensure roads and parking lots are safe for the public during winter storms. With the goal of maintaining the same level of safety, the Green SnowPro training promotes safe, efficient, and effective use of salt in winter maintenance practices on private parking lots and roads including anti-icing, plowing, calibration and record keeping.
Why Hire a Certified Applicator?
Local business owners can also benefit from requiring their contactors to become certified. They can benefit by not only saving money through efficient winter maintenance practices, but, in addition, the certified contractor’s liability protection extends to the business owner. At that same time, this is an easy way to protect New Hampshire’s water resources.
