We are experiencing some nasty winter weather in many parts of the country right now.  Please take extra care to avoid slips, trips and falls.  We have had three serious lost time injuries in the EMEAA region because of slips in the winter conditions.

To help raise awareness please use the flyer in the download section of the UK News website or at the end of this pdf, to remind people what to do and have discussions with your team. No one wants to go home injured.

Is your site ready for winter?

• Do you have stocks of grit-salt, de-icer and PPE?
• Is lighting adequate?
• Are arrangements in place for frost protection and clearing/gritting areas?

Are you ready for winter?

• Make sure you wear warm/reflective clothing on sites and appropriate footwear
• Use dedicated walkways
• Always get a grip on steps and stairways
• Take 5 before starting a new task and ensure all necessary precautions are in place
