Weather

The weather can also have a negative impact on your work. The Netherlands, which is located in a maritime climate zone, is characterized by rapidly changing weather conditions. In addition to fluctuations in atmospheric pressure, which can make you feel unwell, we are almost constantly accompanied by rain and wind. Rain means moisture, and moisture means an increased risk of slipping and falling, an increased risk of electric shock, and can also cause hypothermia, especially if your clothes get wet. Wind makes it difficult to work at heights and lift loads with a crane. High temperatures in the summer, with strong sunlight, can cause heatstroke.

Remember, always check the weather forecast and dress appropriately.
