WalkSafe:
Don’t Let Winter Catch You Off Guard!

Slips, trips and falls are prevalent when winter weather takes hold — and preparation is the first step in reducing the risk. Before the first snowfall, consider the following:

• Ensure you have access to weather advisory alert systems.
• Tune-up snow blowers and other snow removal equipment.
• Consider hiring a snow removal contractor.
• Make a plan for when off-premise work is necessary.
• Maintain a supply of salt, sand and/or other ice melters.
• Obtain proper footwear (boots, ice cleats, indoor shoes).
• Post slip/trip/fall advisories around the building.
• Ensure entryway mats and housekeeping supplies are on the ready.
