Safety Risks During Winter Weather

Winter's cold temperatures bring extra dangers to factories and warehouses. Workers can face slippery floors, icy walkways, and freezing temperatures.
Here are a few steps workers can take to stay safe and effective.
Dress for Cold Temperatures
Wear multiple layers of clothing to control body temperature. Select warm gloves, hats, and coats. Use boots with good traction to prevent falls on slick surfaces. Staying warm helps workers avoid cold stress and injuries to do their jobs effectively.
Increase Your Visibility
Wear bright or reflective safety gear when working near forklifts or other equipment. This type of clothing is critical during dark morning and evening hours.

Keep Your Vehicle Ready
Make your car safe for winter driving by checking tires and wipers, keeping fuel levels high, and packing emergency supplies: store blankets, water bottles, and snacks in your vehicle.

Watch Walking Surfaces
Look for ice patches and wet spots on floors and paths. Use entrance mats and grip-enhancing products on slippery areas. Tell supervisors about dangerous conditions right away.
Fight Winter Tiredness
Cold weather can make you feel tired and slow your reactions. Take regular breaks in heated areas and drink enough water during work hours.
These steps will help prevent accidents and keep you working safely in winter. If you see safety problems that need fixing, talk to your supervisor.
As always - be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility.
