The Infrastructure Minister says 75 of her department’s staff are trained to respond to icy weather.
Onchan MHK Julie Edge asked Dr Michelle Haywood in December’s Tynwald sitting how many of her staff are available to be deployed if there's a sudden cold snap.
Dr Haywood said there are 30 experienced and fully trained Winter Service Operators who can operate the Department’s gritter fleet.
She also says there are a further 45 staff that can be deployed to fill salt bins, close roads, remove snow, carry out localised gritting and other emergency responses as needed.
