It seems that situations of extreme weather
conditions are rising every year – tornadoes, floods, extreme temperatures,
lightning storms, high winds. Each one can threaten workplace safety if your
organization and employees are not prepared.
For example, in case of a tornado are
appropriate shelter locations identified? Are emergency alarm systems in place
and fully operational? Are emergency supply kits available? Is your facility
vulnerable to flooding? Is there a plan to safely evacuate the building? How do you secure equipment and electrical power? What additional risks are there to
employees in a flooded environment? Can your employees recognize the signs of
heat or cold stress? Do they know what to do in each case? Does your company
have an action plan? How often are safety drills scheduled? Who are the
designated go-to people?
It may be a beautiful summer day today, but the
conditions can change in an instant. Being prepared – planning, training and
awareness – can reduce the risks that severe weather presents. We can do something about it.
Make maintaining a safe work environment – in any kind of weather – a
daily priority.
