2025-04-07 TBT Snow is Melting: Site Clean-Up & Spring Safety
With the snow melting across our sites, it’s time to stay alert and proactive about seasonal cleanup and safety. As we transition into spring, a few key hazards and tasks need our attention.
🧹 Clean-Up Priorities:
-
Clear debris, trash, and scrap that’s been uncovered by melting snow.
-
Inspect walkways and jobsite areas for tripping hazards or pooled water.
-
Drain or redirect standing water to prevent mud pits and erosion.
-
Remove remaining snow piles near walkways, entrances, or equipment paths.
⚠️ Watch Out For:
-
Slick spots from overnight freeze-thaw cycles.
-
Soft or muddy ground creating unstable footing.
-
Clogged or frozen drains causing water build-up.
-
Exposed sharp or rusty materials creating injury risk.
🦺 Safety Reminders:
-
Wear proper PPE – waterproof boots, gloves, and hi-vis gear.
-
Use cones or caution tape to mark hazards.
-
Don’t lift heavy, wet items alone – team lift or use equipment.
-
Be cautious when operating or parking machinery on soft ground.
Let’s keep our sites safe, clean, and productive.
If you see a hazard or need support with cleanup, speak up or reach out to your supervisor. Teamwork now helps us avoid accidents later.
