Our Winter Safety Toolbox Talk can increase health and safety on sites where work is carried out in cold weather during the winter months.
Winter Safety Toolbox Talk
£2.50
Description
Working in construction involves extensive periods of time spent outside. Outdoor work can be tough in the winter since temperatures can drop to dangerously low levels. Your work area and surroundings become cold and such circumstances might lead to cold stress.
In addition to the cold temperature there is the wind, which can reduce your body’s heat and there is snow and rain which also make your clothes damp. Cold stress usually happens slowly and workers may not even realise they have been affected by the cold weather.
Some of the common hazards when working during the winter months include.
- Slips, trips and falls.
- Hypothermia
- Frostbite
- Inhaling Carbon monoxide (CO) produced by heating equipment.
Our Winter Safety Toolbox Talk helps keep employees safe and reduce health and safety issues in workplaces where work is carried out in cold weather during the winter months.
