Remember to Get a Grip in Winter…

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.
