Winter comes with its own set of hazards – whether in a personal or a professional capacity. The days become darker, meaning less visibility and increased vulnerability to hazards. Rainfall is more frequent and the lack of warmth means that objects get wetter, creating a risk of damp and mould formation. Furthermore, cold parts of the world compound this problem by creating icy surfaces, which are dangerous to navigate for both people and cars.

Once you get on that hamster wheel, jumping off can feel impossible.
