It is essential, in times of inclement weather, that employers and employees should take prompt and necessary action.
Take shelter as soon as you can.
Avoid any possible areas where objects may fall.
If lightning is in the area, Make sure to avoid such things as trees and lamp poles.
And try and not be at the highest point on the land.
Avoid any water that may be in your area.
Try to not lean against any metal objects.
Don’t use any electronics or plugged in devices.
If heavy rain is falling, avoid being on a downward slope.
Before stepping in a deep puddle, make sure you know what’s below that puddle.

Pay attention to your task, and if you know you cant finish it before the storm will arrive. Make sure to take action and protect yourself and those around you.
