Wind speeds, working height and inclement weather such as rain and cold are likely to O.2.1.2 affect working times when working at height. Winds in excess of 37 km/h; 23 mph; 20 knots; 10.3 m/s (conversions are approximate) are likely to affect a person’s balance, with an increased risk of a fall from a height. Cold winds can contribute to the onset of fatigue and hypothermia: see O.3.High winds can cause large quantities of grit to become airborne, e.g. as in a sandstorm,O.2.1.3 which can cause eye injuries and damage to safety equipment.High winds can cause unsecured rope ends to blow around and potentially becomeO.2.1.4 entangled, e.g. with moving machinery or vehicles.
