Glasgow Life operates numerous venues and sites across the city. As our colleague, it's important you're prepared for the impact of severe weather so that our customers receive the best possible level of service and you are informed and kept safe.
Please take a couple of minutes to re-familiarise yourself with our Glasgow Life Severe Weather Guidance. This is also available on the Colleague information pages of our website under 'S' for Severe Weather.
