normalEach winter many businesses are unprepared for unexpected wintery conditions but Arco, the UK’s leading safety supplier, is encouraging all business owners to make sure they are equipped to deal with the predicted wintry conditions. Arco has stocked up on a full range of winter items and launched its 2012 Expert Guide to Winter Workplace Safety to help businesses stay up and running.

Working in cold environments can impose physical hazards and health risks and can affect an individual’s performance in the workplace. With many people working or travelling to work in environments that are exposed to the cold, wet or wintry conditions during the winter months, it is imperative that they are able to protect themselves against the elements and accidents that can occur.

To help guide businesses to the right products for them, the Arco 2012 Expert Guide to Winter Workplace Safety guide is full of information on de-icing salt and salt spreading, weatherwear and winter options on protective clothing, including high-visibility wear to help businesses keep up and running during the winter months.

With the nights drawing in the Arco range of high-visibility clothing with thermal properties will ensure workers stay warm and stand out. To help keep workers warm and protected, Arco offers a range of highly durable jackets, fleeces, thermal underwear, hats, gloves and footwear.

In addition to needing weather-appropriate, correctly fitted and quality assured protective clothing during the winter, it is imperative that employees are able to work in a safe environment free from hazazrds. Arco offers a range of de-icing salt, salt spreading equipment and snow shovels so that well prepared businesses will have everything they need to keep exterior access routes and car parks clear and minimise risks caused by snow and ice such as slips, trips and falls.
