In cold and/or wet conditions, common dangers include frostbite, slips and falls, as well as vehicle accidents. Taking simple precautions can help us all prevent accidents and injuries. Here’s some winter weather safety tips you can take to stay safe this season.

General Precautions

Keep exposed skin to a minimum when working or transitioning an outside post – exposure or frostbite can occur in just a few minutes. Wear multiple layers to preserve body heat. And remember to drink plenty of water even in the winter months, as rapid dehydration can occur in cold temperatures.

Preventing Slips

Areas that may become slick and require extra caution include stairs, ramps, tile floors, parking lots and metal parts of equipment. Remember, ice is twice as slippery at 30˚F as at 0˚F.

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 doorframe for stability. Be aware that the vehicle itself can lose traction, causing hazardous skids.
