c
an of

en
t
ell us things that
w
e al
r
eady know.For example, we all know that pavements and roads become slippery in cold and wet weather, and we should take extra care. Even though we know this, more accidents and incidents happen in the winter months because many of us forget the risks we take when we’re in a rush.We need to look out for each other and highlight dangers to make sure that we all get home safely every day.Our actions affect othersWhenever there’s an accident, however small, it affects you, the people around you, your colleagues, and even your family. So when you act in a safe way it ensures that everyone connected to you is safe too.
Something
to think about:By challenging your colleagues’ unsafe behaviour, you’re looking out for them and, in turn, the people they care about.

Welfare
Your welfare on site is important all year round but especially in winter months where risks increase due to weather, temperature and underfoot conditions
There are a number of things that can help you on site such as:
Booking and using local accommodation to prevent long journeys
Planning to allow rotation of work activities and adequate breaks
Adequate welfare facilities on all sites

Depending on
the
sex of people on site the

During the winter months travelling too and from site can carry increased risk. Therefore all staff should be offered appropriate accommodation close to your
place of work if the 14 hour door to door policy may be broken or when there is an increased likelihood of severe weather
H
ave a conversation with your line manager today to familiarise yourself
with the correct process when accommodation
is required

There is also an increased risk from staff getting too cold when remaining inactive for long periods of time
Extra thought should be given to staff that may be isolated from the workgroup such as lookouts who may experience dips in concentration when doing a repetitive role. Contact should be regular and included in your site plan
Staff should be
rotated often and given extra breaks in the welfare facilities to warm up and get some hot drinks
Rotation and rest breaks should be planned into the works

Welfare
When planning worksites non core or transient worksites where full welfare is not a possibility thought should be given to the new products available on the market
Suppliers can provide a welfare unit that contains toilets, showers and food/drink preparation areas. These units are easily convertible from a road vehicle into an RRV allowing easy access to site
For smaller sites the TSA welfare trolley may work better this unit can be attached to a standard rail trolley and taken into the heart of the site
