Abstract:There is a growing need to identify actionable practices relative to winter weather operations. Because of the
potential and inherent hazards during cold weather, it has become increasingly important to ensure that these
practices can be effectively employed as well as protect the health and safety of employees working in
extreme conditions.
The research objective is to develop a winter weather operations manual for the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) districts that are vulnerable to weather-related emergencies. A synthesis of the best
practices related to winter weather operations and transferable best practices are documented in the
operations manual to help maintenance crews better understand how to work in challenging weather-related
events. In addition, a playbook for winter storms in Texas was developed to be used for general public
awareness of winter storm operations.
