As summer arrives with its warm weather and long sunny days, it also brings a unique set of risks that businesses must manage to ensure the safety of their operations and employees. Darwin Clayton, together with Aviva, have created a Summer Risk Management Guidance to help you manage the potential hazards of the summer months.
Our guide walks you through the steps to help you mitigate or prevent some of the major summer risks, such as arson, summer sun or summer driving. It also explains how to protect your outdoor workers from prolonged sun exposure and implement robust fire safety measures:
- Arson Prevention
- Summer Fires & Safety Inspections
- Smoke Contamination
- Summer Sun Exposure
- Protecting Vulnerable Road Users
- Drug Driving
- Business Continuity
By following these steps from our Summer Risk Management Guidance, your business can enjoy the season while minimising potential hazards. Stay proactive and prioritise the safety and well-being of your employees and assets.
