Health and safety doesn’t take a break when the weather turns — in fact, it becomes even more important. As heavy rain and storms roll in, staying alert and prepared is key to keeping your team safe on site and on the road.
Wet conditions increase the risks — with slippery surfaces, reduced visibility, noise hazards, unstable ground, higher chances of equipment malfunction.
That’s why wet weather safety is about more than rain jackets — it’s about planning ahead, communicating clearly, and knowing when to pause the job.
✅ Check your site hazards and access points
🛠️ Make sure PPE and wet weather gear is up to standard
📋 Review your emergency plans and procedures
📞 Keep communication lines open and clear
🚫 Don’t be afraid to postpone or stop work if conditions aren’t safe
Public holidays are coming up too — so make sure any unattended sites are secure, and signage is clear.
When your team knows what to expect and what’s expected of them, they’ll make better decisions in tough conditions — and come home safely at the end of the day.
