Why this matters
Weather makes surfaces slippery, loads harder to handle, and visibility worse, often with no warning.
What to cover
- Check the forecast and the site at the start of the shift.
- Slow down on wet ground. Wear boots with good grip.
- Stop lifts and work at height when wind exceeds the limits in your plan.
- Keep cords and electrical connections out of water.
- Clear mud off steps, ladders, and boots.
- Take shelter and stop outdoor work if lightning is near.
Ask the crew
- Which areas turn slippery first on this site?
- What wind speed stops our lifts?
- Where do we shelter if a storm arrives?
One thing to do today
Walk the site and mark or fix the wettest, slipperiest spot.
