Helpful Tip for Mining in the Snow - Mine Safety Institute
The winter brings snow and with snow comes more than cold, but also new hazards to otherwise familiar places. Walkways that you might move along every day are now slippery, possibly slippery in the afternoon when they weren’t in the morning! Also, snow hides ground hazards that would normall be visible. Checking walkways for tripping hazards as well as immediately cleaning up after a task becomes increasingly more important when snow can hide what is on the ground.
