Working Safely in Cold Weather

PPE Stores (Workwear) News and PR from PPE Stores (Workwear) - Published 27 January 2021 Advice to employers
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has stated that employers must be flexible during harsh weather conditions, such as ice and snow, and should not force employees to work. When the weather takes a turn for the worst it can result in colleges/schools across Britain closing, leaving many parents with child care issues. In such severe weather conditions, buses and trains can be cancelled and motorists are often warned only to make essential journeys. In such circumstances, many staff may be unable to get to work or choose to work from home (if they can). Whilst many people may not be able to travel; the business does not have to stop entirely in these situations. With good business continuity and safety policies in place, together with a good communication system companies can continue to move forward.
