NAWIC Safety Letter

As the leaves start to fall and we transition into autumn, let’s ensure our safety standards
stay high. September brings unique challenges, and staying vigilant is key.

• Weather Watch
   - As temperatures fluctuate, stay updated on weather forecasts. Prepare for
  cooler days and potential rain.
• Fall Prevention
   - Fall leaves might be picturesque but falls on the job site are not. Keep
  walkways clear of debris and use caution on surfaces that may be slippery.
• Inspect Equipment
   - With seasonal changes, ensure all equipment is inspected.
• Visibility Matters
   - Days are getting shorter. Check that all safety and warning lights are
  functioning properly.
• Fall Allergens
   - September can trigger allergies for some. Be aware of allergens like ragweed
  and mold. Keep allergy medication on hand.
• Emergency Preparedness
   - As we move into storm season, make sure everyone is familiar with
  emergency procedures. Know the location of emergency exits, shelters, and
  first aid kits.
• Training Refresh
   - Reinforce safety protocols with your team. Provide refresher training on fall
  prevention, emergency response, and any specific hazards.
