As Experts in Safety we are committed to helping you keep your workplace a safe one. During winter months severe weather conditions such as snow and ice can cause a massive amount of disruption to your sites. Not only can they potentially cause lost time and site closure, but worse, they can put your staff at risk of slips, trips and falls which can lead to serious injuries.
Here at Arco, we've everything you need to keep your workplace open, running and most of all safe. We can deliver salt in quantities to suit you; from pallets of 25kg bags to tonne bags and loose salt. Treat paths and large areas quickly easily and safely with our range of salt spreading equipment and clear snow with shovels, we even have a plough that can be attached to a fork lift.
Working in cold environments can impose physical hazards, health risks and affect an individual's performance in the workplace. With many people working or travelling to work in environments that are exposed to the cold, wet or windy conditions during the winter months, it is imperative that they are able to protect themselves against the elements and accidents that can occur.
We have stocked up on all winter workwear and personal protective equipment to protect workers from head to toe.

We sell Marine Salt, which is used extensively throughout the world as a de-icing agent and can be used in conjunction with any spreading equipment. Our high-purity de-icing salt has properties that ensure that it's the best poduct on the market.
Marine Salt is a natural resource, it's totally soluble, and as it has no impurities, it will not leave the dirty residue behind that you associate with brown salt (grit). This makes it perfect for pathways, pavements and playgrounds where the salt tends to be trodden indoors. Marine Salt also has equal particle sizes, it is low on fine particles, which makes it dust free and markedly reduces the amount of salt that's blown away during spreading. Due to its inherent moisture content our salt adheres to the road without the need for adhesives. As Marine Salt is dry and free flowing it is one of the best for use in spreaders.
Using one of the purest forms of salt means that you will need to use less salt for effective de-icing.
Salting larger areas such as paths, pavements, car parks and playgrounds to keep them clear of snow and ice and therefore safe for pedestrians and drivers can be a time consuming, labour intensive chore which will need to be undertaken regularly in winter.
Using salt spreading equipment is a quicker and more convenient method of spreading the correct concentration of salt, in a uniformed layer.
Stay safe whilst driving. Before driving always ensure that your windscreen is fully cleared to allow maximum visibility and clear and snow and ice from the roof of your vehicle.
The law states that all car windows and mirrors must be cleared. Driving with restricted vision whilst peering through a small demisted hole on your windscreen can lead to a fine of up to £1,000.
A comprehensive range of heaters suitable for keeping warm and enabling work to continue even in the coldest of temperatures. The range includes heaters from a 3kW Fan Heater to a 2kW fan heater. Choose the one that best suits your environment.

This selection of safety gloves has been carefully selected as they will provide the necessary protection for your hands, whilst thermal insulating properties will ensure that they stay warm, even in the coldest of conditions.
When temperatures fall, feet can be the first to suffer. Extremely cold feet can cause chilblains and frostbite but even mildly cold feet can make us feel uncomfortable, miserable and reduce our productivity.
