Winter Weather Hazards Toolbox Talk Part 3 - Working with Damaged Power Lines & Downed Trees

The Winter Weather Hazards Toolbox Talk Part 3 - Working with Damaged Power Lines and Downed Trees from OSHA Education School is designed to cover specific winter hazards, like the removal of downed trees, repairing damaged power lines, or removing collapsed poles. In this Toolbox Talk, Pete Rice, Certified Safety Professional (CSP) and Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), reviews the specific hazards associated with these winter weather obstacles, while posing questions and answers, such as: Did you know that snow and ice can impact personal protective equipment (PPE)? How can you stay safe while clearing downed limbs or trees? What is the role of the Competent Person (CP) on the jobsite, and how does it relate to personal jobsite safety? What hazards, other than potentially energized lines and electrocution hazards, should you be aware of on the jobsite?
