A - Assess winter weather risks
N - Never rush seasonal deadlines
T - Test equipment thoroughly
A - Always wear appropriate PPE (red suits are NOT proper PPE 😉)

Research shows that construction sites with superior welfare facilities can see up to 20% higher worker satisfaction and 15% fewer workplace incidents.
