Cold Weather Warning Beacon

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

As the weather gets colder and frost is forecast it can create slippery conditions on access routes to workfaces early in the morning. Often operatives access the site before salting is completed and has a chance to take effect.

To create awareness of potentially freezing conditions for operatives as they come in the main pedestrian gate a frost alert sign with beacon has been prominently placed along the route. At temperatures below 2°C the blue light flashes to warn of the potentially slippery conditions on access routes and scaffolds.

This highlights the potential risk to everyone and reduces the risk of slip, trip and fall type incidents.
