Guidance on working in cold and wintry weather

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have updated their guidance to make it easier to find and understand advice on how to protect workers in low temperatures. This includes guidance for working outdoors.

It also explains how you can assess the risks to workers and put controls in place to protect them.

With low temperatures and less daylight, winter can make surfaces perilous. As a result, slip and trip accidents increase significantly.
