S.A.F.E. Winter Weather Preparedness Guide

One way to help keep employees safe is be being prepared for the weather — sometimes extreme — that winter can bring, and being ready to alert employees to use caution. Winter weather can change suddenly and freezing rain and snow can quickly turn sidewalks and parking lots into dangerous sheets of black ice. These weather changes may contribute to serious slip and fall injuries in parking lots, on sidewalks and at building entrances. The type of weather alert systems a company has in place to monitor changing conditions and promptly alert employees can play a big role in reducing these injuries throughout the winter season.
