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.
