Winter Safety on the Construction Site

8 things you should know about winter construction safety
Building site safety is a basic part of working in construction. This is something we know and understand, from observing fire regulations to minimising hazards from trips and falls. However, in the colder months, there are other hazards that can affect you directly, as well as issues that arise around the site.
We’re going to cover eight areas to look out for when working across winter to protect you, your colleagues and other contractors. These areas are:
  • 1. How cold is too cold to work?
  • 2. What is cold stress?
  • 3. What cold weather does to your body
  • 4. How to prevent cold stress with workwear and PPE
  • 5. What are the hazards on a construction site?
  • 6. Working in low light conditions
  • 7. How does weather affect site safety?
  • 8. Vehicle safety in cold weather
