I do not wait for a signal from my supervisor to stop working in the event of a severe storm.

I discuss current weather reports with my colleagues.

In the Netherlands, we often have strong winds, particularly in the autumn and winter seasons.

• Flyaway objects or materials
• Shifting, flyaway scaffolding planks/floor plates
• Toppling or rolling objects
• Inability to control a load during crane operations
• Toppling of the crane; increased danger of working at heights
• Collapse of inadequately anchored or braced scaffolding
• Undermining of scaffolding, construction and/or passenger and freight hoists, stairwells, etc
• Trucks running off the road that end up in the work area
  

The table/matrix below identifies the measures you must take. This table is a guideline. Always check out your own location to determine whether you need to take action sooner!

• The operator is responsible for the safe operation of the machine and the safety of the people working in the vicinity.
• The foreman is responsible for safety on the construction site. This incudes things such as:

• Organizing timely consultation to take the right decision.
• Tidying up and securing the construction site.

• Everyone is obliged to monitor current weather forecasts and to take the measures outlined below.
