Beginning tomorrow, and especially on Saturday, the forecast is for brutally cold temperatures, dangerous enough to cause frostbite within 10 minutes.
Remember, your first and most important priority on any job operation is your personal safety.
If you are sent on a job and encounter unsafe working conditions, specifically exposure to dangerously cold temperatures and wind, you are not required to perform any work operations without a safe environment or appropriate procedure to do so.
It is your responsibility to notify your supervisor of the unsafe condition and expect instructions on how to proceed. If your boss demands that you perform an unsafe work operation, please call the union hall immediately and we will address situation.
Under no circumstances should you put your safety in jeopardy, and the company should never expect you to do so.
