WINTER WEATHER – ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS

Please be careful during the adverse weather conditions. Every time it is forecasted to snow we cover all of the risk areas with ‘rock salt.’

Please ensure you wear non slip boot / shoes to work and change into your work shoes on the unit or place of work .

Follow the practical guidelines which will be displayed on the Units and in the Staff Room, and to show you where is safe to walk during these weather conditions. Foot paths must be used and not walking through the middle of the car parks to reach your place of work. This is in order to ensure your safety and to prevent slips, trips and falls.
