Spring weather in the Midwest and Great Lakes can be especially fast-changing and unsettled. Such conditions can lead to risks due to wind, hail, heavy rain, and even tornadoes. Taking simple precautions can help managers and supervisors prevent accidents and injuries.

Spring Storms

Per the National Weather Service (NWS), severe thunderstorms are storms capable of producing hail that is an inch or larger or wind gusts over 58 mph. Hail this size can damage property such as plants, roofs, and vehicles. Wind this strong can break off large branches, knock over trees or cause structural damage to trees. Some severe thunderstorms can produce hail larger than softballs or winds over 100 mph, so please pay attention to the weather, so you know when severe storms are possible. Thunderstorms also produce tornadoes and dangerous lightning; heavy rain can cause flash flooding. In severe weather, security personnel are advised to head indoors, away from exterior doors and windows, and listen for weather alerts and updates.

Driving Safety

Slips can happen when entering and exiting your vehicle, so be cautious. Use a three-point stance when getting in and out of your vehicle. Use a grab-bar or door frame for stability. Be aware that the vehicle itself can lose traction, causing uncontrolled skids.

• When roads are slick or wet, slow down, leave extra following distance between yourself and other cars, and do not make sudden vehicular movements.
• If you begin to skid, turn the wheel in the direction you want the vehicle to go. Ease your foot off the accelerator, and do not hit the brakes.
• Know the weather conditions and visibility you will encounter and plan ahead.
• Inspect your vehicle for proper equipment, including tires, lights, and windshield wipers.
• Keep lights, windows, and mirrors clean. This is especially important in low visibility situations such as heavy rain, darkness, or fog.
• If pulling over due to an emergency, increase your visibility to passing traffic. Activate the vehicle’s hazard warning lights, wear your safety vest, set up a warning triangle or flares, and assume that oncoming traffic does not see you.

Final Tip: Whether on foot or in a vehicle, high winds can produce debris or indicate worsening weather. Take shelter and take care during severe weather!

Now that COVID-19 vaccinations have been authorized and recommended for use in the United States, accurate vaccine information is critical. To help prepare and educate the public, the Centers for Disease Control and Preparation (CDC) has listed myths and facts about COVID-19 vaccines to help understand what information is credible and accurate. Below are six myths and facts about the COVID-19 vaccine for you to consider.

How do I know which sources of COVID-19 vaccine information are accurate?

It can be difficult to know which sources of information you can trust. Learn more about finding credible vaccine information.

1.) Can a COVID-19 vaccine make me sick with COVID-19?

No. None of the authorized and recommended COVID-19 vaccines or COVID-19 vaccines currently in development in the United States contain the live virus that causes COVID-19. This means that a COVID-19 vaccine cannot make you sick with COVID-19.

There are several different types of vaccines in development. All of them teach our immune systems how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19. Sometimes this process can cause symptoms, such as fever. These symptoms are normal and are a sign that the body is building protection against the virus that causes COVID-19. Learn more about how COVID-19 vaccines work.

It typically takes a few weeks for the body to build immunity (protection against the virus that causes COVID-19) after vaccination. That means it’s possible a person could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 just before or just after vaccination and still get sick. This is because the vaccine has not had enough time to provide protection.

2.) After getting a COVID-19 vaccine, will I test positive for COVID-19 on a viral test?

No. Neither the recently authorized and recommended vaccines nor the other COVID-19 vaccines currently in clinical trials in the United States can cause you to test positive on viral tests, which are used to see if you have a current infection.​

If your body develops an immune response—the goal of vaccination—there is a possibility you may test positive on some antibody tests. Antibody tests indicate you had a previous infection and that you may have some level of protection against the virus. Experts are currently looking at how COVID-19 vaccination may affect antibody testing results.

3.) If I have already had COVID-19 and recovered, do I still need to get vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine?

Yes, you should be vaccinated regardless of whether you already had COVID-19. That’s because experts do not yet know how long you are protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19. Even if you have already recovered from COVID-19, it is possible—although rare—that you could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 again. Learn more about why getting vaccinated is a safer way to build protection than getting infected.

If you were treated for COVID-19 with monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma, you should wait 90 days before getting a COVID-19 vaccine. Talk to your doctor if you are unsure what treatments you received or if you have more questions about getting a COVID-19 vaccine.

Experts are still learning more about how long vaccines protect against COVID-19 in real-world conditions. CDC will keep the public informed as new evidence becomes available.

4.) Will a COVID-19 vaccination protect me from getting sick with COVID-19?

Yes. COVID-19 vaccination works by teaching your immune system how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19, and this protects you from getting sick with COVID-19.

Being protected from getting sick is important because even though many people with COVID-19 have only a mild illness, others may get a severe illness, have long-term health effects, or even die. There is no way to know how COVID-19 will affect you, even if you don’t have an increased risk of developing severe complications. Learn more about how COVID-19 vaccines work.

5.) Will a COVID-19 vaccine alter my DNA?

No. COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with your DNA in any way.

There are currently two types of COVID-19 vaccines that have been authorized for use in the United States: messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines and viral vector vaccines.

The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are mRNA vaccines, which teach our cells how to make a protein that triggers an immune response. The mRNA from a COVID-19 vaccine never enters the nucleus of the cell, which is where our DNA is kept. This means the mRNA cannot affect or interact with our DNA in any way. Instead, COVID-19 mRNA vaccines work with the body’s natural defenses to safely develop immunity to disease. Learn more about how COVID-19 mRNA vaccines work. ​

Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine is a viral vector vaccine. Viral vector vaccines use a modified version of a different, harmless virus (the vector) to deliver important instructions to our cells to start building protection. The instructions are delivered in the form of genetic material. This material does not integrate into a person’s DNA. These instructions tell the cell to produce a harmless piece of virus that causes COVID-19. This is a spike protein and is only found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19. This triggers our immune system to recognize the virus that causes COVID-19 and to begin producing antibodies and activating other immune cells to fight off what it thinks is an infection. Learn more about how viral vector vaccines work.

At the end of the process, our bodies have learned how to protect against future infection from COVID-19. That immune response and the antibodies that our bodies make protect us from getting infected if the real virus enters our bodies.

6.) Is it safe for me to get a COVID-19 vaccine if I would like to have a baby one day?

Yes. If you are trying to become pregnant now or want to get pregnant in the future, you may receive a COVID-19 vaccine when one is available to you.

There is currently no evidence that COVID-19 vaccination causes any problems with pregnancy, including the development of the placenta. In addition, there is no evidence that fertility problems are a side effect of any vaccine, including COVID-19 vaccines.

Like all vaccines, scientists are studying COVID-19 vaccines carefully for side effects now and will continue to study them for many years.

Be prepared to Spring Forward this weekend. On Sunday, March 14th, clocks will be turned forward by one (1) hour at 2:00 am CT for Daylight Savings Time.

Daylight Savings Time is a good reminder to test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and practice your fire emergency plan with your family.  

Yearly time changes may also affect your Titan bill:

As we enter Daylight Savings Time in the spring, you may see one less hour billed to your account. For example:

• An eight (8) hour shift from 12:00 am to 8:00 am will only be billed only seven (7) hours due to the advancing of the clock one hour at 2:00 am.

As we leave Daylight Savings Time in the fall, you may see one hour of Overtime billed to your account.  For example:

• An eight (8) hour shift from 12:00 am to 8:00 am will require nine (9) hours of coverage due to the clock’s reversal one hour at 2:00 am. This may result in that staff member working one (1) hour of overtime to cover the nine (9) hour shift.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding security coverage or billing for your site, please contact your Titan representative or the Titan office at (312) 902-3400.  We appreciate our continued partnership.
