In the construction industry, "bad weather" such as heavy rain and typhoons is one of the threats that jeopardizes the safety of workers and the work plan at the site. According to the Labor Safety and Health Act, (Prohibition of Work During Bad Weather) Article 522 When a business operator conducts work at a height of 2 meters or more, if there is a forecast of danger due to bad weather such as strong winds, heavy rain, or heavy snow, they must not engage workers in that work. However, even though "bad weather" can be described in one word, perceptions of it vary from person to person. Therefore, site supervisors need to establish specific numerical values or indicators to define what constitutes "bad weather" and set criteria for halting work, ensuring that all parties involved have the same understanding.
