Workplace safety product specialists Safetyshop have begun to promote their range of safety products that relate to the oncoming winter period. Soon many people will be travelling to and from work in the dark and school children will be walking or cycling to school in the dark also. It’s time to take extra care as visibility and quiet, dark roads become a risk – take a forward thinking approach to staying safe this winter.
Safetyshop stock a wide range of high visibility clothing and accessories to ensure that the dark mornings and
evenings don’t become a serious hazard for pedestrians as well as motorists.
Children walking to and from school are often the most vulnerable especially when
crossing roads, According to official government statistics, children are more at
risk from road accidents from 3pm onwards in autumn and winter and this can often
coincide with workers driving home.
Safetyshop’s Kimberley Slack commented, “With an increased awareness of road safety
we have found that making sure the public are able to get the best safety products
can often be a life saver.
“With the darker mornings and nights it can be difficult to spot a child in the road until it’s too late. So anything that can make children and adults more visible, whether they are walking or riding a bicycle, is a high priority for us at Safetyshop”.
On the subject of motorists, the winter period poses many risks especially as temperatures drop and the roads becoming slippery with snow and ice.
Drivers are advised to have a winter car kit, including de-icer but it is also important that drivers prepare for the worst and pack warm clothing and a hot drink on long distance trips as the roads are expected to be congested as roads are expected to be congested during bad winter weather
There are many winter related products that Safetyshop will have available for businesses and individuals that can help deal with the risks and hazard that the winter months pose.
