Hurricane season officially starts June 1, and the National Weather Service is holding Hurricane Preparedness Week May 5-11 to encourage people to plan accordingly for hurricanes and have an emergency plan in place.
It is crucial for employers and workers to prepare for weather-related emergencies and ensure they have the necessary equipment to stay safe when severe weather strikes. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Hurricane Preparedness and Response page provides information about creating evacuation plans and supply kits and reducing hazards for hurricane response and recovery work.
