Logan Haugen provides an in-depth overview in insuring SnoTemp. Learn about key coverage needs, risk factors, and tailored solutions to support their cold storage operations.
Superior Loss Controls and Risk Management
At the core of SnoTemp’s operations is a commitment to safety and risk prevention. The company has implemented robust measures to mitigate property and general liability (GL) risks, including:
Advanced Infrastructure
SnoTemp’s facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art refrigeration and monitoring systems designed to minimize equipment breakdowns and prevent spoilage. These systems ensure a controlled and safe environment for stored goods. (we are not seeking coverage for warehouse legal insurance)
Proactive Maintenance
Regular inspections and maintenance schedules keep equipment and facilities in optimal condition, reducing the likelihood of costly incidents.
Workplace Safety
The company’s workforce is thoroughly trained in safety protocols, creating a culture of accountability and awareness. This minimizes on-site accidents and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.
Security Measures
SnoTemp employs strict access controls and surveillance systems to protect against theft or unauthorized entry. These measures enhance the company’s overall operational security.
Efficient Operations to Minimize Risk
SnoTemp’s operational model further reduces potential liabilities and streamlines processes. The company does not operate its own trucking fleet.
Instead, third-party delivery trucks drop off goods at SnoTemp’s loading bays. Drivers remain in their vehicles while SnoTemp’s trained staff handle the unloading and storage of goods.
This approach minimizes risk exposure related to transportation and ensures that only experienced personnel manage on-site operations.
By focusing solely on storage and handling, SnoTemp maintains greater control over its processes and safeguards its facilities against external risks.
Key Personnel Ensuring Safety and Excellence

Willie Lafferty
Willie oversees all engineering operations, ensuring that facilities remain in excellent condition and that all equipment functions at optimal levels.
