How to Prepare Your Workers for Winter

Winter safety

SafetyCare provides businesses with a wide variety of safety equipment all year round. Winter is an especially important time for us, as we’re here to protect your workers from freezing conditions, wet weather and other hazards that arise when the temperature plummets. Read on to discover how we can support your business through exceptional winter safety products.

Tools for fighting the ice

Though winter is a happy and festive season, it also comes with more risks to workers than any other time of year. Snow, sleet and icy ground in particular can pose a significant threat to employee safety, so you need to equip your workforce with a fast and effective way to make surfaces safe for outdoor duties.
Starting with the most well-known method of melting ice, our rock salt is available in a 1.1 tonne bag and also as a pallet of 42 x 25kg bags. Ideal for use on roads, paths, car parks and a variety of other outdoor spaces, simply scatter the rock salt before or after snowfall to keep the area clear of snow and ice whilst improving traction for both vehicles and foot traffic. We have many other winter safety products too, such as snow shovels, salt storage bins, commercial spreaders and much more.

Site safety in winter

In order to maintain optimum levels of health and safety across your workplace during winter, we recommend checking out our workplace matting. Available in a variety of designs and formats, workplace matting is slip-resistant and designed to prevent accidents that can occur during the wetter months.
We also have our range of site safety equipment, which covers everything from mobile barriers and cleaning cones to emergency transit chairs and defibrillators. If you need any help choosing the right kind of workplace safety equipment for your premises, get in touch with our team for tailored recommendations.

Winter driving safety essentials

Being prepared for freezing weather is crucial, which is why we also stock all kinds of winter essentials that will enable your employees to respond to any situation. Great examples are our driver’s winter safety kit that ensures safety in the event of harsh weather, a motorist kit that includes a hi-vis vest and warning triangle, and a good old-fashioned de-icer trigger spray that will quickly melt ice on your vehicle’s windows whilst preventing them from re-freezing.
By investing in these versatile and affordable vehicle kits, your staff will remain safe and in control even if they experience a breakdown or a serious traffic jam caused by winter conditions.

Dress for the cold

Last but by no means least, comfortable winter workwear is of the utmost importance when it comes to protecting workers from the cold. Our wide range of winter workwear can literally cover your workers from top to bottom, such as FlexiTog trousers, Fristads winter jackets, Thinsulate knitted hats, Portwest gloves, thermal socks, heavy knit scarves, fleece balaclavas, and many other workwear products that will keep your employees warm, safe from the elements.
For those working in freezing environments, cold store gloves protect the hands whilst allowing flexibility and dexterity. Due to slippery conditions, winter safety boots are also very important and will help your workers to remain on their feet.

Winter-proof your workers
