Winter is arriving across the U.S. Here is a tip on surviving the cold that you can tailor to the circumstances of your workplace. Adapt safety meetings to the fall hazards that are common to your work crew. Do they have to get in and out of vehicles in icy weather? Must they walk on any ramps or sloped areas as part of their jobs? Steps, stairs, ramps, and ladders are all more dangerous in wet or icy weather, especially during night shift. Remember that moist skin can stick to freezing surfaces. Check your worksite for areas that could be a particular hazard in the cold weather and discuss them in your morning meetings.
