Ice and snow can make the UAF campus walkways slippery resulting in slips and falls. To help employees stay on their feet, Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management provides free ice cleats to help with foot traction to employees and students.

In an effort to get ice cleats out to everyone, we have provided a way for departments to order cleats in bulk online. Please have your PPA or designee coordinate and order the correct quantity for your department via the online form available on our website.

EHS&RM is in the process of ordering right now, so put your order in and they will be available to pick up in a couple weeks.

You can still stop by the main office at 1855 Marika Road, if you prefer to pick up a pair.

Additionally, crews work to keep the walkways clear of ice and snow, but if you see hazardous walkway that needs attention, please contact Facilities Services at 474-7000.
