"Since attending the Smart About Salt (SAS) course I have come a long way with understanding the use of rock salt on our parking lot and walkways.  The information has helped me better manage the questions from our associates on the use of salt. 

 

In addition, I wrote our snow removal bidding document to require only SAS certified contractors to participate.  It is refreshing that an educated vendor truly understands our operations and proactively recommends and implements improvements in the area of salt usage."
