☀️ Summer Operations = Higher Risk Exposure
For many businesses, summer is one of the busiest times of the year. Whether it's seasonal hiring, increased customer traffic, expanded operating hours, or additional vehicles on the road, increased activity can also mean increased risk.
Here are some ways businesses can stay prepared:
👷 Train Seasonal Employees: Provide safety training before new hires begin work and review emergency procedures regularly.
🚚 Inspect Vehicles and Equipment: Schedule routine maintenance and encourage drivers to perform pre-trip inspections.
🏢 Maintain Your Property: Repair trip hazards, inspect walkways, and keep outdoor areas well-lit and free of debris.
⛈️ Prepare for Severe Weather: Review emergency plans, update contact information, and secure outdoor equipment before storms arrive.
💧 Protect Employees from Heat: Encourage hydration, provide shaded break areas, and watch for signs of heat-related illness.
