Is your building ready for winter? Prevent falls before the snow arrives!

Winter is approaching and will bring challenges to industrial safety. Snow and ice can transform work environments. At the same time, there is less daylight. Surfaces become slippery. Bad weather can hide hazards.

Anticipating these risks is an important part of responsible management. The goal? Protecting the company's most valuable asset: its employees.

At Solutions Prox-Secur, we help you transform this obligation into a strategic advantage. We implement reliable solutions to ensure an incident-free winter.

The impact of precise risk identification

A thorough, personalized assessment of your facility is essential. Every building presents unique challenges that require specific analysis. At Solutions Prox-Secur, our process always begins this way.

Our experts can visit your site to conduct a complete winter safety audit. This inspection helps identify areas of vulnerability. Then, a protection plan can be developed. Several critical points are examined.

·       Traffic surfaces condition: We analyze rooftops, walkways, and loading docks to assess slip hazards.

·       The protection of fall-risk areas: Unprotected roof edges and skylights pose significant risks, especially when covered in snow.

·       Safety of access routes: We ensure that paths used by maintenance or snow removal teams are secure and accessible.

·       The protection of fall-risk areas: We evaluate whether current markings and warnings are effective in low-light or snowy conditions.

Our custom solutions

 Once the assessment is complete, we offer practical and effective solutions. These solutions come from leading manufacturers known for their innovation. We will guide you toward systems that are tailored to the audit's findings. This ensures that your site's safety plan is perfectly aligned with the risks that were identified. Our proposal for custom solutions may include:

·       Installing collective protection systems. Permanent or freestanding guardrails are installed to secure roof perimeters and work areas at height.

·       Implementing personal protective equipment. Certified lifelines and anchor points are deployed for tasks requiring a safety harness.

·       Securing openings. Robust safety grilles for skylights prevent accidental falls, a common risk in winter.

·       Improving floor signage. The light projection marking system, like the Dock Line Laser, ensures perfect visibility even on wet or snowy surfaces.

Ensuring compliance and operational performance

Regulatory compliance is essential. Installations are carried out in accordance with strict standards, particularly those of the CNESST. This protects you legally in the event of an incident.

Prevention also has a direct impact on productivity. Workplace accidents lead to investigations, work stoppages, and a drop in team morale. Investing in safety ensures the continuity and efficiency of your operations.
