Severe weather

Severe weather events such as snowstorms, hurricanes, wildfires and flooding are happening more often and becoming more extreme, causing potential risks to your workers, property, business, equipment and supply chain. These events can also increase the chance of accidents – including slip, trip and fall hazards – and put your business at greater risk of liability.
