What's Your Winter Weather Safety Plan?

Toby Graham

To maintain productivity and reduce injuries and time off, consider winter safety and create a plan for your facility. A little time spent planning can go a long way.

For your winter weather safety plan, consider things like:

• Equipment Location: Where are the shovels, snow brooms, salt, wet floor signs? 
• Employee assignments: Who should stay home? Who will do the following: plow, salt, check for slip mats, inspect areas, escort customers. 
• Inspections: Will managers inspect footwear?  Will an employee be assigned to check a doorway each hour?  
• Snow removal plan: Does everyone understand the process before the big storms roll in?
• Employee Training: Does everyone understand not just the plan, but best practices for staying safe in winter weather?      
• Communication of Plan Activation: How do we let employees know that we are activating our winter weather plan?
