We assist companies in creating a safe work environment and a safety culture.

When working in cold weather, construction workers should follow safety tips to prevent hypothermia and frostbite.

These tips include:

Dress in layers: Wear at least three layers of loose-fitting clothing, including a moisture-wicking base layer, an insulating layer, and a waterproof and windproof outer layer

Protect extremities: Wear insulated gloves and boots, and cover your head with a hat or hood

Stay dry: Avoid wet clothing, and pack extra clothes

Take breaks: Set up a heated break area, and take frequent breaks in warm, dry areas

Stay hydrated: Drink warm liquids and eat healthy foods

Monitor your health: Check your physical condition and that of your coworkers

Warm up equipment: Allow equipment to warm up before use

Provide emergency supplies: Keep emergency kits handy, and stock the job site with emergency supplies

Reduce drafts: Provide insulating floor coverings or special footwear when workers have to stand for long periods on cold floors

Postpone work if necessary: If temperatures drop below 10°F, postpone work or move indoors until the temperature rises again

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month

Distracted driving is any activity an operator of a motor vehicle is engaged in that both distracts them from their primary task of driving and increases their risk of an accident.

There are four types of driver distraction:

Visual – looking at something other than the road
Auditory – hearing something not related to driving
Manual – manipulating something other than the steering wheel
Cognitive – thinking about something other than driving.

All distractions endanger the driver, passengers, and others on the road.

Distractions come from four general sources:

Associated with the vehicle – controls, displays, navigation systems
Brought into the vehicle – cell phones, computers, food, animals, grooming aids
External to the vehicle – signs and displays, scenery, roadside features
Internal to the driver’s mind – daydreaming, “lost in thought”

The most alarming of these distractions is the one that requires the driver to take his visual, manual and cognitive attention away from driving: TEXTING.

Here are some safe driving practices for employees.
