How GMS Helps Keep Your Team Safe Year-Round 

Keeping employees safe isn’t a one-time initiative. It’s an ongoing responsibility that evolves with the seasons. From icy sidewalks in winter to heat exposure in summer, every time of year brings unique workplace hazards and compliance deadlines to manage. 

For business owners, staying ahead of these risks while handling daily operations can be challenging. That’s where Group Management Services (GMS) comes in. As a professional employer organization (PEO), we help protect your team and your business throughout the year with proactive safety programs, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance support, and continuous employee training. Our goal is to make sure your company remains safe, compliant, and productive, no matter the season. 

Safety Risks Change Every Season 

Each season presents its own safety challenges, and staying compliant requires awareness and preparation. 

Spring: As operations ramp up and new projects begin, many businesses bring on seasonal or temporary workers. GMS provides safety onboarding programs and tailored training to ensure every new team member understands workplace procedures and hazard awareness. 

Summer: Rising temperatures increase the risk of heat-related illnesses and outdoor work hazards. GMS provides heat safety training, risk assessments, and guidance to help you comply with OSHA’s Heat Illness Prevention standards. We also help manage travel safety protocols during this busy season. 

Fall: This is the perfect time for safety audits and preparation for the winter months ahead. GMS helps conduct risk assessments, update your safety policies, and schedule refresher trainings to ensure your workplace remains safe as conditions change. 

Winter: Cold weather often leads to slippery surfaces, increasing the risk of slips, trips, and falls. Businesses must also ensure OSHA recordkeeping requirements are filed by March 2. GMS helps you prevent injuries through seasonal safety plans, walkway maintenance strategies, and compliance management. 

With GMS’ support, your business stays proactive instead of reactive. We help you prevent accidents, stay compliant with safety regulations, and protect your employees year-round.
