The spring season creates the potential for jobsite safety hazards.

With these seasonal challenges in mind, Celerity is highlighting some of our late spring safety practices.

1. Mud. While our trucks are more than capable of dealing with offroad conditions, mud is a hazard that we must take into consideration and treat with respect. Mud is not only a driving hazard, but a trip hazard. Remember to watch your footing when working in mud.

2. Unstable surfaces. When driving offroad, be sure to analyze your path! Use your best judgement when driving over wet areas. If an area or surface looks questionable, walk the path before attempting to drive your vehicle in the area.

3. Be mindful of thunderstorms. With spring, comes rain. At Celerity, we watch the daily weather to indicate suitable working conditions. Our thunderstorm policy requires our crews to stop conductor-related work when a thunderstorm is approaching 50 miles of the job site.

4. Wear appropriate clothing. Make sure to have your appropriate clothing for working in the ever-changing spring weather conditions. Choose footwear with appropriate traction for slippery surfaces. Keeping dry is important when working out in the elements.

5. Sunburn protection. Wear sunscreen, protective sun brims and appropriate protective clothing. Sunburns are not exclusive to hot, summer months.

Celerity strives for jobsite safety. Safe workplace practices are the key to protecting our employees.
