Don’t get caught out this winter

Published:  13 December, 2018

Three red weather warnings have been issued by the Met Office since 2011, two of which occurred between 28th February and the 2nd March 2018, making last winter one of the most severe in a decade. ARCO, a leading UK health and safety expert, says it wants to encourage individuals and business owners to prepare for the worst.

With the prolonged periods of snow last winter delivering up to 20 inches overnight in some places, and already severe flooding of up to 10ft in parts of the UK, Arco is urging businesses to plan ahead this winter. To offer assistance, the safety expert has a number of expert advice sheets available online for businesses to download, to aid in the planning, preparation and clean-up of extreme weather events.
