\nIn the coming weeks, heavy showers and strong winds are forecasted for Singapore. (source: Meteorological Service Singapore<\/a>).
\n\u00a0
\nWet weather and windy conditions can pose additional workplace risks for workers, especially those working in outdoor environments. These include lightning; electrical risks; slips, trips, and falls; falls from heights; and struck by falling objects.
\n\u00a0
\nEmployers must ensure that workers are aware of these risks and take measures to protect themselves. These measures include:
\n\u2022 <\/span>Taking shelter in dry sheltered areas e.g., inside a building;
\n\u2022 <\/span>Not using power tools in the rain or under wet conditions;
\n\u2022 <\/span>Avoiding work at heights until the weather improves;
\n\u2022 <\/span>Looking out for slip and trip hazards, especially in wet work areas; and
\n\u2022 <\/span>Wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment (anti-fog eye protection, insulated gloves, safety boots, etc.)
\n\u00a0
\nEmployers should keep themselves updated on the latest weather and ensure the environmental conditions are safe and conducive for work to be carried out safely by all workers.\u00a0
