Steps
Have a competent person determine before each shift, and continuously, whether storm or high-wind conditions make scaffold work unsafe
Do not permit work on a scaffold covered with snow, ice, or other slippery material until it is removed, sanded, or otherwise treated
If wind screens or tarps are used, confirm the scaffold has been secured against the anticipated wind forces they will impose, since screens are prohibited unless this is done
For work continuing in marginal conditions, ensure personal fall arrest systems are used as the competent person directs
Stop work and evacuate the scaffold when the competent person determines conditions are unsafe, and document the determination
Known gotchas
Adding a tarp or wind screen without first confirming the scaffold is secured against the added wind load is itself a violation, since screens increase wind loading on the structure
There is no OSHA-specified numeric weather threshold for slippery-platform conditions — it is a competent-person judgment call, so document the reasoning behind the decision
