- Keep warm
This may seem obvious, but in winter, frostbite and hypothermia are common in the construction industry. The site manager should create a warm place in a place with low temperature to provide workers with a breathing opportunity. Guidance on how to wear should also be provided, that is, you must wear protective clothing, warm clothing, and gloves to prevent frostbite from invading bare fingers. Cold hands may also mean that you are more likely to drop tools when working at heights, so equipping the device with safety lanyards can prevent this from happening.
2. Prevent falls caused by cold conditions
Use tools or coarse sand to help it melt to remove any ice or snow on the surface that will walk. It is also important to have proper signs, especially in the presence of black ice. It helps to make workers aware of potential dangers and allow them to take corresponding actions. In addition, a safe blocking device is essential. Secured to a fall-prevention seat belt, the block “locks” almost immediately when dropped, which means you don’t have to worry about slipping on ice or snow.
3. Light up
Winter is here and it’s getting dark, so it’s important to have bright lights on the scaffolding and work area. The compact flash unit can be easily mounted on scaffold tubes and various other types of materials, making it incredibly versatile. Lighting is not only an indispensable element to make equipment and hazards more obvious, but also an important way to keep workers awake. Our bodies are naturally more alert during the day, so reducing the weight as much as possible during the day can reduce the risks associated with fatigue.
