Wind limits, (not cross or tail wind)

We are all familiar with the usual cross and tail wind limits for our respective aircraft and headwind for autolanding.

What about absolute wind limits not exceeding the above . We have no guidance at my operator, how high a wind value would you accept even remaining within limits ?

Example, a 50-60 knot headwind or greater, apart from the potential shear considerations how about just taxiing around the airport, hazards such as objects blowing at you , aircraft weathervaning etc..

Interested in your respective procedures.
