摘要：	It's that special time of year again in the Northern Hemisphere where mariners can enjoy the thrills and spills of walking on snowy and icy decks. The falls that can result from slick decks can be more than just embarrassing. They can cause significant to serious injuries, and possibly cause you to go over the side. Typically, the admonition from shoreside safety managers is to shovel the snow overboard, break up any ice, remove it, and salt or sand the surfaces. This is sensible enough but is much easier said than done. Depending on the amount of snow or ice accumulation, shoveling and ice removal can be extremely labor intensive and time consuming. Minimal manning standards help make this chore a big challenge, if not an impossibility, particularly during long bouts of bad winter weather. It affects everything you do on deck and can easily get way ahead of you to the point where a complete manual removal of the snow and ice is just not realistic. You may need a thaw to assist you, and meanwhile the slip-and-fall risks remain.
