With the country definitely experiencing wintery weather this week please make sure your sites and homes are well prepared.  Slips, trips and falls are the most common accidents in this weather.  Please make sure you get a grip, are wearing the correct shoes, correct PPE and have checked any vehicles to make sure they are winter road ready.

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.
