Conducting a Risk Assessment

5. ELECTRIC-POWERED ICE RESURFACERS

Arenas can transition to electric-powered resurfacers and edgers to eliminate tailpipe emissions and reduce the risks of poor indoor air quality. Although switching to electric equipment requires a budgetary investment, electric edgers provide a cost-effective alternative with significant reductions in emissions. However, ventilation remains crucial, as emissions from concessions and propane or natural gas-powered heaters in spectator areas still require sufficient air exchange.
