Did you know that road surface temperatures (RSTs) can be different to air temperatures?
At Nationwide Gritting, we continue to follow the Met Office road surface forecasts before gritting any of our clients’ sites.
Many businesses that simply rely on public weather forecasts run an extremely high risk of being caught out by sub-zero road surface temperatures, resulting in slips, trips and falls.
The Met Office’s OpenSite™ RST forecast allows us to identify site-specific forecasts as well as regional forecast zones. From this, we can build confidence by giving each client, as well as our onsite teams, an advance warning of the upcoming weather conditions.
