Whether it brings sleet, hail, frost, or wind, cold weather can seriously impact a construction site. Often, it makes it more difficult, uncomfortable, and hazardous to work. Engines can seize, and workers can slip and fall. Moreover, working in frigid temperatures unprepared is downright unbearable. If you’re tired of dealing with jobsite winter woes, let’s explore how to keep your construction site safe during the winter.
Educate Employees and Offer Resources
All the safety practices in the world don’t work nearly as well as having the right knowledge. Educating workers and supervisors on the signs of cold stress can save lives. Cold stress is a precursor to other dangerous conditions, such as hypothermia and frostbite. It begins with fatigue, disorientation, excessive shivering, and loss of coordination. If an employee knows what to look for, they’re more likely to seek medical attention much faster before more serious conditions arise.
Additionally, wearing the proper PPE should be non-negotiable on your construction site. Hard hats and hard hat liners, gloves, goggles, and waterproof boots with textured non-slip soles help protect extremities and prevent accidents. If employees don’t have access to these things or damage them, they’ll need replacements. Therefore, it’s wise to keep extra hats, liners, socks, gloves, sweaters, and even hand warmers nearby. It may cost you an extra penny, but not nearly as much as a jobsite accident.
Regularly Inspect the Worksite and Equipment
If you want to keep your construction site safe during the winter, inspect paths, scaffolding, ladders, and other work surfaces for ice accumulation. This is especially true after a snowstorm, as downed powerlines, fallen trees, and other objects can be serious workplace hazards. Plowing roads, placing out warning signs, and sprinkling salt on icy surfaces can prevent injury.
Checking equipment and machinery is equally critical—work can’t begin without it. Vehicles and large machinery should contain winter emergency kits with various items, such as snow brushes, shovels, blankets, and emergency flares. They should also undergo routine inspections to ensure their functioning. Additionally, check machinery fluids, let engines heat up, and make sure cab heaters work.
Provide Warm Break Spaces
No matter how work-intensive the job is or how quickly it has to finish, providing break intervals in a heated space is critical. To make it easier, you can break the job into smaller tasks and have employees work on rotation while others warm up. However, if you’re not near a heated building, finding warmth can become a little more difficult. Fortunately, you have quite a few options. Depending on the size of your jobsite and crew, you can use personal tents, trailers, or fabric structures to keep employees warm.
Using personal tents is economical if you have a small handful of workers. They’re great for keeping out the cold and often come with a vent hole so that you can place space heaters in them. Mobile-office and construction trailers can double as lunchrooms and are better for medium-sized crews. They often have HVAC options as well. Temporary fabric enclosures are perfect for larger crews. They can prevent jobsite corrosion, keep frost and snow from accumulating on materials and equipment, and come with HVAC options that’ll keep your entire construction site safe and heated.
Prof. Djamila Ribeiro and Taylor Cassidy are two powerful voices who are speaking out against racism and discrimination. They are both using their platforms to educate and empower people, and they are making a difference in the world. Taylor and Djamila discuss their own personal experiences with racism, as well as the issues that Black women face in our society. Prof. Ribeiro shares her thoughts on the importance of education in fighting discrimination, while Taylor Cassidy talks about the importance of using social media to raise awareness about Black history and culture. This is an important conversation that everyone should watch.
Prof. Djamila Ribeiro is a Brazilian philosopher and journalist who has been using the power of education to fight discrimination against Afro-descendants in Brazil. She has written a number of books and articles on the subject, and she has been a vocal advocate for Black rights in Brazil.
Taylor Cassidy is an activist and TikTok creator who makes Black history accessible to millions through her social media posts. She has been featured in a number of publications, and she has been a guest on a number of podcasts.

With four moderated panel discussions, this year’s World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) observance explores the contributions autistic people from around the world make in their communities.
Each panel discussion will specifically focus on the contributions autistic people make at home, at work, in the arts and in policymaking.
The narrative around autism is gradually moving away from misconceptions of curing and converting autistic people to an inclusive approach focusing on accepting, supporting and involving autistic people, and embracing the concept of neurodiversity – the idea that people experience and interact with the world in many different ways and that there is no one "right" way.
These discussions shed light on how the transformation in the narrative around neurodiversity can continue to be furthered in order to overcome barriers, improve the lives of autistic people everywhere and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

United Nations Video: Climate, Ukraine & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (29 March 2023)
Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General.
Highlights:
- Climate
- Security Council
- Democratic Republic of the Congo
- Ukraine
- Türkiye/Syria
- Mexico
CLIMATE
This morning, the General Assembly held a meeting on climate. The Secretary-General spoke on this meeting related to an advisory opinion on the obligations of States in respect of climate change.
Mr. Guterres said that for some countries, climate threats are a death sentence. He noted that today’s meeting came about because of the initiative of those countries, as well as the efforts of young people and many others. He told the supporters of the draft resolution, “Together, you are making history.” The Secretary-General said that if an ICJ opinion was given on climate issues, such an opinion would assist the General Assembly, the UN and Member States to take bolder and stronger climate action that our world so desperately needs, adding that climate justice is both a moral imperative and a prerequisite for effective global climate action.
Also on climate, the Secretary-General delivered remarks in a video for the Economist magazine Sustainability Week. He noted that the Economist event comes on the heels of a landmark synthesis report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which confirmed that global emissions are at their highest level in human history – and are rising. In his remarks, he said all fossil fuel CEOs to present credible, comprehensive and detailed new transition plans – fully in line with all the recommendations of his own High-Level Expert Group on net zero pledges. And he called on all financial institutions to publicly present credible and detailed plans to transition their funding from fossil fuels to clean energy with clear targets from 2025 to 2030.
SECURITY COUNCIL
In the Security Council this morning, Bintou Keita, the Head of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), briefed Council members.
She said the security situation in the East has continued to deteriorate. Conflict with the M23 and the continued activism of other armed groups, including the ADF, Zaire, and CODECO, continue to inflict intolerable suffering on the civilian population. She commended regional efforts underway to bring peace and stability and called on the Council to lend its full weight to these efforts by encouraging the parties to abide by their commitments and ensuring that recalcitrant actors are held to account.

BBC News Video: Why are so many rape and sexual assault cases dropped by alleged victims in Britain? - BBC Newsnight
A Newsnight investigation reveals for the first time how many rape and serious sexual assault cases collapse because the alleged victim drops out.
This is after a defendant has been charged and a date for the trial has been set. The trial can then be cancelled and rescheduled, which happens again and again, causing the victim to lose confidence in the system or be unable cope with the mental trauma of a life in limbo while waiting for the case to proceed - so they withdraw.
Newsnight’s figures show more than six cases are discontinued every week, and that it takes an average of almost 5 years for a rape case where a defendant is on bail to go from offence to completion.
UK Editor Sima Kotecha speaks to an alleged rape victim in this exclusive report.

BBC News Video: Bullying and toxic culture at one of England's largest NHS trusts - BBC Newsnight
Newsnight previously uncovered deep concerns about what was going on inside the University Hospitals Birmingham Trust, from allegations of whistleblowers being threatened, to the father of a junior doctor who killed herself saying the hospital had destroyed her.
The reports resulted in three inquiries being launched, the first of which, an interim report into patient safety, came out on Tuesday.
It sought to reassure the public saying the trust's various sites were a safe place to receive care. But it warned any continuation of a corrosive culture there would impact morale, hit staffing, and “put at risk the care of patients”.
The report highlights the Queen Elizabeth hospital, saying there's clear evidence that cultural problems persist there and require serious attention.
Sir Robert Francis - the barrister who headed the Mid-Staffs hospital inquiry told Newsnight that, “patients will not be safe in any organisation unless staff feel they will be supported if they speak up about their genuine concerns”.
David Grossman and the NHS team speak to the Trust’s chief executive Jonathan Brotherton and the report’s author professor Mike Bewick.

Global Video: Mummering: Newfoundland's unique holiday tradition comes roaring back
This past weekend in St. John’s Newfoundland, hundreds of people hit the streets for the Atlantic province’s annual Mummers Parade.
As part of this festive tradition, people gather up old clothes that have been lying around the house –tablecloths and oversized shirts are a favourite – and assemble a “mummer’s rig” or costume.
Originally, mummering was a house-visiting tradition. It first appeared in Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1800’s, though the practice dates back much further than that. Mummers would visit their neighbours in disguise, looking for beer and a bite to eat.
Alyssa Julie has more on the history of mummering - and the dark parts of its past.

Global Video: Breast cancer survivors say issues like early menopause, loss of identity often overlooked
Just days ahead of her 40th birthday, Hilary Boswell received a terrifying diagnosis – She had breast cancer.
She received a unilateral mastectomy, a surgery she didn’t necessarily want but felt pressured into by her surgeon. It left her with one breast and, she says, it changed the way she saw herself.
“I remember struggling so much with the idea of walking around with one boob,” she said. “I just really felt like I knew what I wanted… and yeah, I wish I had done it, “ she added, referring to a double mastectomy.
Like Boswell, other cancer survivors sometimes struggle to accept the changes brought on by surgery or chemotherapy – such as early menopause, or loss of libido. And they don’t always get the support they need.
As Alyssa Julie reports in our series Against all Odds, some survivors and experts are asking health professionals to shed more light on the impact of a cancer diagnosis on the body and the mind.

Global Video: Outside the margins: BIPOC and LGBTQ2 breast cancer patients rewrite the narrative
People from racialized and 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities are underrepresented in the institution of cancer care, and they’re slipping through the cracks because of it.
“I really felt like my issues didn’t matter. And I didn’t feel confident in making a decision about a life-changing surgery because I didn’t see myself represented,” said Michelle Audoin, the founder of Uncovered: A Breast Recognition Project. “The fact that I didn’t see myself in this space and my questions weren’t being addressed, it led to depression.”
For breast cancer, a reproductive cancer, the disparity can be especially apparent for the latter group. One thing is clear: it’s time to rewrite the narrative of what a typical cancer survivor looks like.
To do so, members of the community across Canada are fighting against these gaps, from diversifying what breast cancer looks like to writing a graphic memoir.
Global's Katherine Cheng has more.

Global Video: "It's part of everybody's history": CNE's post-pandemic return revives multi-generational traditions
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is back in Toronto after a two-year pandemic hiatus, and with its return, small businesses that struggled with the closure are back.
With revenue going from 100 to 0 when the Exhibition closed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, being back at the CNE this year is extra-special for patrons and especially the small family businesses passed down from generation to generation.
“As much as this is a generational business for me and a family business, it’s also something that is an experience that generations have gone to the CNE and enjoyed,” said Sam Scanga, owner of several food booths at the CNE he runs with his family, referring to attendees’ love of his Primo Spaghetti 1.99. "It's part of everybody's history."
Global's Alexia Kapralos and Katherine Cheng have some of their stories.
