Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 213
D Heathorn - 21 October 2010
Wind Conditions
Please see enclosed a self explanatory bulletin from Johnson Controls.
This incident highlights the need to always carry out Last Minute Risk Assessments
(LMRA) on each site, taking into account local site conditions, including the weather.
All crews have wind speed meters (anemometers) to measure and record readings on a
work at height checklist. JSAs detail the maximum wind speed for the task, so please do
not risk working at height if the wind speed is higher than that detailed, or if you feel the
conditions are unsafe.

About Risk
Risk management is a big step towards accident prevention; however, it is dependent on the risk firstly
being identified, then controlled. We need safety awareness to be instinctive and form an integral part
of both our working and home lives; it is this, in turn, that may save the lives of others. Remember: if
shared, risks can be mitigated before they pose a threat.
If you have any queries regarding the Safety Bulletin content or require further information please
contact any staff member of Xmo Strata Ltd.
