Slips, Trips and Falls incidents are our main concern, especially at this time of year. As the winter season is starting please prepare carefully to minimize the risks:
- Grit Salt – Readily available, with arrangements and equipment in place for clearing walkways, etc. as appropriate
- De-icer – Stocks available to ensure good all round visibility can be maintained on vehicles at all times
- Walkways – Demarcated, well-lit, free from trip hazards and standing water
- Housekeeping – Work areas kept clear and tidy at all times
- Footwear – In good condition, with suitable grip
- Get a Grip – Hold the handrail on steps and stairways and check the surrounding area when stepping down from vehicles
- Frost Protection – Minimise the effects of frost on production sites, draining down equipment, using lagging, trace heating, etc.
