SNOW REMOVAL STANDARDS
Our Snow Removal Standards Committee was formed in 2021 when many years of discussion regarding the challenges faced by contractors turned into viable solutions that a dedicated group of industry experts could work to improve. Over multiple meetings with a variety of our contractor members, we came up with the following ideas to assist members:
- Present our members with an offering of best practices i.e., Snow Standards, Snow Log checklist, Sanding Log Checklist, Sidewalk Log Checklist, and general contracts that can be utilized in order to limit snow contractors’ liability and indemnification by service to the recipient.
- Partnering with an independent adjuster who is willing to join our Association to be the adjuster of choice for any claims that arise. This initiative is not yet available, but we are currently in discussions to make this an option for members.
- Partnering with a legal firm that works with the Association, who can offer legal advice, contracts, and litigation services on behalf of members.
- To pass a bill amending the Manitoba occupier’s liability act by adding a timeline as to when a third-party claimant can report an incident. This will be a similar if not same bill that was passed in Ontario, Bill 118.
- To change legislation in Manitoba to classify snow removal equipment as emergency vehicles, allowing equipment to complete their work safely and efficiently.

RPM TRUCKING INDUSTRY SAFETY PROGRAM
The Trucking Safety Council’s objective is to provide employers and workers in the Manitoba Trucking Industry with health & safety expertise, training and support within an accessible framework. The goal is to assist your company to create a healthy, safe and productive workplace with an integrated culture of safety. HEAT is proud to be a part of this objective as it allows our members access to a COR equivalent safety certification. This safety program provides initiatives to complete programming, more specific to trucking that allows our member companies to work on Provincial projects without getting COR certified.
HEAT contributes to this initiative by sitting on the RPM Safety Council and providing input and feedback on the programs offered.
