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.
