Windsock Safety Information

Windsocks play a vital role in workplace and site safety by providing clear, real-time wind direction indicators that support emergency response planning, hazardous material handling, and compliance with safety regulations. Properly placed windsocks can alert workers to wind shifts that may affect the movement of gases, smoke, or airborne contaminants—helping prevent accidents and ensuring quick, informed decisions in critical moments.
