4 Natural Threats to Your Job Site You May Not Have Considered {{ currentPage ? currentPage.title : "" }}

Nature, at its very core, is unpredictable. You never know what it will throw your way. On your job site, this can be scary. But if you prepare for every situation, you can continue your operations confidently, knowing you have a plan.

Water Storage Bladder

This goes beyond expected natural events—you should also consider the rare, out-of-the-blue occurrences. If you are ready for these, your team can stay safe and remain on schedule. With gear like a water storage bladder, flood tubes, and more, here are four unexpected natural threats you should prepare for on your job site.

Swings in Temperature

In a perfect world, summer would be hot, winter would be cold, and fall and spring would fall somewhere in between. Right? Well, this isn’t always necessarily the case.

Unexpected hot and cold fronts can cause temperatures to change drastically, even during a season that traditionally falls on the other side of the thermometer.

That’s why it’s essential to keep your winter and summer gear equally accessible. An unexpected cold front in late August can drop temperatures by 10-20 degrees, and suddenly you need to set up portable heaters. Be sure to check the week’s forecast and unpack cold-weather gear for any incoming fronts that threaten to chill your job site.

Dust Storms

If you work in a desert climate or the middle of an extremely flat area of land, dust storms can pop up with very short notice. Unlike traditional windstorms, the dust poses a hazard to equipment, worker health, and fragile supplies.

Always keep masks and filters available and accessible for your team. Plus, other PPE, including gloves and glasses, to protect your crew from the dust.

When you shut down your job site to let the storm pass, cover your equipment with tarps that are held down by extra secure stakes and straps. Bring smaller tools and fragile materials indoors. Make sure everything that you do leave outside is bolted or weighed down. That way, when the storm passes, you can dust everything off and get back on track.

Droughts

More than your average hot summer temperatures, droughts can force you to rethink your construction plans.

For starters, you might need more water on your job site than usual. Plan to provide your own with a water bladder tank that’s easy to fill and transport.

It’s also important to brush up on your wildfire planning. Droughts create an arid environment where fires can quickly get out of control. Refresh your team on fire safety procedures and what to do in case one breaks out.

Torrential Rain

On the other side of a drought is a torrential downpour. An unexpected flood can damage anything and everything on your job site.

Always keep a few reusable flood barriers on hand that your team can quickly deploy in case of unexpected flooding. Even if you aren’t near a river or coast, heavy rain can cause a flash flood that threatens job sites at lower elevations.

You should also make site drainage a priority from day one. Evaluate your site and ensure proper drainage systems are installed and maintained throughout the entirety of the project. If a heavy downpour does occur out of nowhere, you’ll be able to direct it off your site with the right equipment in place.

These are only a few of the many curveballs nature can throw at you while on the job. But, if you prepare for them with the proper supplies, you’ll be well on your way to top-notch safety measures that help your project stay on schedule.
