Happy Holidays! Yes and let’s make sure you stay safe.

As the holiday season is in full swing in New Jersey, workplaces across the state experience a dramatic shift in pace and responsibilities. From retail stores handling surging foot traffic to warehouses processing increased shipments to delivery drivers racing against tight deadlines, it’s one of the busiest—and most hazardous—times of the year for workers. Unfortunately, this seasonal rush often leads to a spike in workplace accidents and injuries.

Fatigue is one of the biggest risks during the holidays. Longer hours, demanding schedules, and understaffed shifts can leave workers physically and mentally drained. This can contribute to slip-and-fall accidents, lifting injuries, machinery mishaps, and other preventable incidents. Seasonal décor and temporary displays can also add new hazards, such as obstructed walkways or unstable ladders.

Cold weather creates additional risks for outdoor and transitional workers. Icy surfaces, sudden temperature drops, and poor visibility increase the likelihood of falls and weather-related injuries. Delivery workers, maintenance staff, warehouse employees, and retail support teams all face unique challenges during December as they navigate both holiday demands and winter conditions.
