What are your Winter risks and how can you manage them?

Understanding and managing the hazards and risks associated with the site you’re working on are essential to ensuring the safety of your workers. Winter brings with it a unique set of risks to manage, especially when working at outdoors at a height and on rooftops. 

Low temperature, wind, rain, frost and ice, as well as the cold and flu are all conditions you need to consider when evaluating how to minimise hazards. These conditions increase the risk of slips, trips and falls due to decreased visibility, grip and traction. Decreased mobility and workers impacted physical and mental state is also a high-risk factor during winter.

This Fact Sheet will help you to identify winter risks at your site, manage the risk and monitor it. Read our Top 10 Winter Safety Tips to best prepare yourself and your workers or contractors for working in winter.
