The winter months bring on a new set of safety challenges for employers and employees. From slips and falls to driving in inclement weather, organizations must be ready to face these challenges, and pre-plan to address winter safety. This class will provide information to help prevent and reduce injuries and incidents during the winter months; from slips, trips and falls, exposure to cold, injuries due to snow removal and winter driving. Winter hazards will be identified and methods to protect employees who may be exposed.
We will have a group discussion, so please come with the top winter challenge(s) you face at your company, and we’ll brainstorm ways to help address these.
