In industries where employees need to frequently go outside, such as construction or delivery, the constant removal and reapplication of ice cleats can lead to complacency and an increased risk of slips and falls. Additionally, while ice cleats are designed to improve traction on snow and ice, most workers do not exclusively work on these surfaces.

If safety professionals are looking for specific information, we’re always happy to provide it. And one of our most popular topics focused on the lack of regulations when it comes to ice cleats. In my original article, “Why Are There No Regulations Around Ice Cleats?” I wrote that the main reason for a lack of industry standards or regulations around ice cleats is the number of variables in recreating an outdoor slippery surface. But I don’t think that my post was popular because people wanted to hear why these regula\[…\] [Continue Reading](https://blog.winterwalking.com/are-you-up-to-date-on-the-current-ice-cleat-regulations) ## [DO ICE CLEATS EVEN WORK?](https://blog.winterwalking.com/blog/do-ice-cleats-even-work) By [Jordan Bell](https://blog.winterwalking.com/author/jordan-bell) 3/18/21, 7:30 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.winterwalking.com/hubfs/images/DO-ICE-CLEATS-WORK.jpg)](https://blog.winterwalking.com/blog/do-ice-cleats-even-work) It’s a question we’ve heard more than a few times.

Before I reveal mine, let me provide some context. Winter Walking is the largest manufacturer of ice cleats in North America. We take immense pride in helping hundreds of companies and thousands of employees reduce the risk of slip and fall injuries while on the job.

Every night, they eat dinner. Sometimes they eat their dinner early and sometimes it’s late. But every night they eat. So what would happen if I waited until they were starving to feed them. And at that point I said, “Okay, just spot me a few hours. I have to go to the market, buy some ingredients, come home, look up a recipe and then cook you dinner. Sound good, kids?” Just the thought of the ensuing tantrums is enough to ensure that this scenario never unfolds in my home.
