Whether from the hazards of winter travel or the vulnerabilities of equipment in the elements, safety procedures take on a different form when the weather changes.
Risks to an operation are different when ice and snow inhibit movement of equipment. Because of this, as winter’s grip takes hold across the country, safety procedures and equipment maintenance on job sites are going to have to adapt to different conditions.
If snow or ice is requiring you to tow or recover equipment or a vehicle, make sure you know what equipment you should be using, how to use it, and how to confirm it's in good working order.
