When most project managers consider site safety, their train of thought typically gravitates toward proper chemical storage and OSHA enforced safety precautions, such as making sure all employees are wearing their hardhats and safety gloves.
Far too often, these veteran supervisors overlook an omnipresent threat that is as unrelenting as it is unpredictable. Severe weather can strike almost anywhere without warning. Tornadoes and flash flooding have already claimed a record number of lives in 2019 and many of these deaths can be prevented with proper planning and foresight. According to National Geographic, cyclones cause more than 80 deaths and 1,500 injuries annually. Although their primary target is “Tornado Alley,” no location is impervious to their hellish fury.
Mother Nature shows no prejudice when it comes to picking which locations to impart death and destruction. In moments of unimaginable chaos, the only thing that matters to the whims of nature is the structural integrity of a building and the precautions put in place against it. Buildings, both new and old, can be reduced to rubble in a heartbeat.
Tornado Lock Storm Shelters protect what matters most
Construction and job sites are no different. These areas are especially vulnerable to gusty winds and torrential rainfall, as a solid foundation has yet to be established. Many structures have yet to receive proper reinforcement as the bare bones of the skeletal building remains unprotected against severe and sporadic weather. A strong line of thunderstorms in the Dallas-Arlington area proved just how powerful these storms can be, as a massive construction crane was toppled by the hurricane forced winds.
