severity - 4 extreme
Monitor Conditions: Flood Risk
Prep teams and avoid any unnecessary outdoor work. Flash flooding is possible.
severity - 3 sever
Check Tire Tread Condition: Snow
As temperatures get colder, check tire pressure regularly. If employees are driving in the snow, their vehicle's tires need good traction.
severity - 3 sever
Implement Vehicle Maintenance: High Temps
Identify potential problems that could lead to vehicle mechanical breakdown in the heat. Check fluid levels, radiator coolant, and air filter. A dirty air filter can reduce fuel economy by 10%, replace it as needed.
severity - 4 extreme
Inspect Brakes: Icy Conditions
If brake pad lining is less than 1/8 inch have them replaced. When driving in snowy conditions, breaking will become more difficult.
severity - 4 extreme
Inspect Facility Drainage Systems: Rain

severity - 3 sever
Inspect HVAC Systems: Low Temps
Temperatures are starting to drop. Start prepping the facility so that it functions optimally for the winter months. The temperature will need to be maintained as it gets colder. A well-maintained HVAC also ensures people are only exposed to healthy indoor air quality.
severity - 4 extreme
Inspect Paved Areas: Stormy Conditions
Prepare accordingly for the storm by cleaning up and debris or sediment build-up in advance. After the storm, follow up by looking at drainage systems surface deterioration or vegetation growth.
severity - 3 sever
Reduce Temperature Set Points: Temperatures Cooling
For every degree you lower the thermostat, you also lower your utility bill by an average of 1%. When the interior temperature is low, the heat loss is slower. This also reduces energy consumption and saves on operational costs.
severity - 2 moderate
Schedule Forklift Inspection: Good Conditions
