Night Work Toolbox Talk

Description

In some circumstances, night-time work is preferred. Often there is less traffic during these hours, which means both workers and members of the public are less likely to experience delays. Moreover, it regulates temperature for example, in the summer, working at night can boost output while lowering the danger of heat exhaustion or sunburn.

However, working during the night has a unique set of challenges. In this toolbox talk we discuss the safety recommendations to lower the dangers of night-time work.

Some of the common hazards during night work include.

• Decreased visibility or Glare.
• Slips and trips.
• Lack of sleep and fatigue
