Why Winter is Ideal for Health & Safety Training

Why Winter is the best time for health & safety Training

Jan 15, 2025

As the winter months approach, many industries — especially those in construction, manufacturing, restoration, roofing, plumbing, heating, and more — often experience a dip in activity. This natural slowdown presents a valuable opportunity to focus on something crucial for your business’s long-term success: health and safety training.

 

At Act First Safety, we believe winter is the perfect time to invest in the health and safety of your team. Here’s why:

 

  1. Fewer Distractions and Downtime
    The winter season often brings fewer projects or lower demand for some businesses, allowing you to focus on internal training. This slower pace means less disruption to daily operations, giving you the chance to dedicate time to health and safety training without worrying about deadlines or busy workloads. It’s the perfect window to ensure your team is well-prepared, skilled, and ready to tackle the busy season ahead.
  2. Stay Ahead of Compliance Requirements
    With ever-changing safety regulations, staying ahead of the curve is crucial. Whether you’re in construction, roofing, plumbing, or any other industry, winter is the ideal time to ensure your team is up-to-date on critical certifications. Act First Safety offers a wide range of training programs, including Working at Heights (WAH), Swing Stage, Mobile Elevating Work Platform (Scissor Lift/Boom Lift), Lift Truck, Propane, and more. Getting these certifications during the quieter months ensures that your company remains compliant with safety regulations and that your team is prepared for whatever the upcoming year brings.
  3. Improve Employee Confidence and Morale
    The winter months can be tough, especially for employees who work in physically demanding or potentially hazardous environments, such as roofing, construction, or restoration. Training during the winter provides your employees with the skills and confidence they need to stay safe while performing their tasks. Knowledge is power — when employees feel equipped with the right tools and safety knowledge, they’ll perform better, reduce injury risks, and feel more motivated in their roles.
  4. Flexible Training Options
    At Act First Safety, we offer flexible options for health and safety training, including on-site training at your location or at our conveniently located Scarborough facility. We understand that every company has different needs, which is why we offer customized training programs. Whether you require Mobile Elevating Work Platform (Scissor Lift/Boom Lift) certification or need a refresher course in Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) Training, we can accommodate your team’s specific needs. Our training sessions are convenient and comprehensive, ensuring that your employees have everything they need to succeed. Plus, at our Scarborough facility, we provide free parking, snacks, and coffee to make the learning experience as smooth and comfortable as possible.
  5. Prepare for the Busy Seasons Ahead
    The quiet winter months are a great time to prepare your team for the busy seasons ahead. By completing training now, you can ensure that your employees are fully equipped with the knowledge and certifications they need to excel when business picks up in the spring. Being proactive now means that your team will hit the ground running, ready to tackle the upcoming challenges with confidence.
