Winter Safety Training for Employees – [Complete Video Kit]

As fun and magical as the wintertime can be it can also be a recipe for work-related injuries. That is why this Winter Safety Training Video is so important. Every year thousands of employees are injured, both on the job and off, during the winter season. This training offers an informative way to discuss this issue with your employees while offering useful tips for keeping them safe on the job.

This Winter Safety Training Video Covers The Following Important Topics:

• Whether on the job or at home, it’s important to dress correctly for the cold or wet months of winter (layer your clothing as it holds in your body heat, wear a water-repellent shell to keep dry, and have proper hats or gloves to keep you warm)
• How can you prevent yourself from slipping and falling in the snow or icy-covered sidewalks? (Wear proper footwear, take small steps, watch out for slick spots, etc)
• How to properly shovel snow without getting a back injury (use a smaller shovel to make the load lighter, pace yourself, take a break, etc)
• What does salting your sidewalks and walkways before the snow comes decrease slips and falls?
• Before driving your car in the snow, why is it important to brush off excess snow from your hood? (It will prevent the snow from blowing onto your windshield while you drive)
• What to do if your car starts to skid or slide in the snow or ice-covered roadways? (don’t slam on the brakes, stay calm, take your foot off the gas pedal, and steer the car in the direction of the skid)
• Why is it important to stay hydrated while working in cold weather? (it’s easy to sweat away fluids and minerals even in cold weather, working in heavy clothing can tire you out more quickly, etc.)

Other Topics Covered in This Winter Safety Video:

• Why is it important to have your chimney cleaned? (without cleaning, the soot inside the chimney can be a fire hazard)
• If your facility uses space heaters, what are some best practices while using them? (position the heaters at least 3 feet from combustible materials, ensure that if they are electric that the cord isn’t a trip hazard if they are fuel-based heaters, then make sure you are using the correct fuel, etc.)
• What are some best practices when a Christmas tree is on display inside your business? (add some preservatives to the tree water and keep it watered daily, make sure the Christmas lights are UL approved, look for frayed wiring, cracked plugs or loose sockets, and check the tree daily by bending the needles to verify that they aren’t dried up and brittle)
• If your business will light candles during the Holiday Season, than make sure you take safety precautions with that open flame (don’t place candles near trees or decorations, never leave a lit candle unattended, keep away from any materials that might catch fire, make sure there is a portable fire extinguisher nearby, etc.)
• and much more…
