Reminder: Keep Your Pathways Clear this Winter

November 15, 2024

As you enjoy warm family gatherings and cozy meals at home this holiday season, our skilled team is working hard to provide safe and reliable heating oil and propane deliveries across the Lakes Region. In order for them to perform their job to the best of their abilities, they need a clear path to your fill pipe to ensure safe deliveries.

We want to take a moment to remind you to keep your walkways clear of snow and debris this winter. It could mean the difference in receiving your delivery!

Remember to Shovel Safely!

Stafford Oil & Propane takes shoveling, as well as the health and safety of our customers, very seriously. Before you bundle up this winter, please keep these shoveling safety tips in mind.

1.       Warm up your muscles before you begin.

2.       Whenever possible, push the snow, don't lift.

3.       When you need to lift, bend at the knees and use your legs, not your back.

4.       Take a break after 20 - 30 minutes.

5.       Listen to your body. If you’re tired or something doesn’t feel right, it’s time to stop.

6.       Shovel as soon as possible after the storm ends, when the snow is at its lightest and fluffiest.

If you are unable to shovel yourself, please ask a friend or neighbor for assistance and let us know ahead of time. Stafford Oil & Propane thanks you for keeping your sidewalks, paths and driveways clear for our delivery drivers.
