Why this matters

Storms bring lightning, wind, and flooding. A plan stops people having to decide in a hurry.

What to cover

  1. Know the triggers that stop work: lightning, wind speed, and flooding.
  2. Know who makes the call.
  3. Secure loose materials and cranes.
  4. Shelter in a safe building, not under cranes or trees.
  5. Check the site before work restarts.
  6. Check on each other after the storm.

Ask the crew

  • What stops work here?
  • Where do we shelter?
  • Who checks the site afterward?

One thing to do today

Write the stop-work triggers and the shelter location on the site board.
