# Anti-Icing for Maintenance Personnel

Federal Highway Administration Video VH-370 Anti-Icing for Maintenance Personnel Anti-Icing is defined as a systematic approach to winter highway maintenance, using material, equipment, strategy and trained personnel to prevent or reduce the ice-pavement bond. This video gives a quick introduction to these tools, describing the action of sodium chloride in lowering freezing temperature, the importance of proper timing of chemical applications, selection of chemicals, calibration of spreaders, and application rate. Plowing, road weather information systems, and the importance of personnel training are also discussed. Viewers are referred to FHWA's Manual of Practice for an Anti-Icing Program: A guide for the Maintenance Manger, the Salt Institute's Snowfighter's Handbook, and SHRP's 2-volume report Road Weather Information Systems for more specific information.
