If the weather is bad, be extra creful. Tips for preventing slips, trips, and falls.

IF THE WEATHER IS BAD, BE EXTRA CAREFUL

Tips for preventing slips, trips, and falls

  • Watch where you’re going.
  • Your path could be slick, so watch the ground.
  • Avoid snow, ice, and wet spots if you can. Mud and wet leaves can be slick spots as well.
  • Don’t be distracted – by fingering mail or doing too many things at once.
  • Step smart, not quickly.
  • Take shorter steps and keep your whole foot on the ground with each step.
  • Be careful on uneven surfaces – like getting into or out of your vehicle. Use a handrail if one is available.
  • Wear Footwear that works for the weather.
  • Make sure you have a good tread on your soles. Wear “SR/USA”-approved footwear.
  • If it’s not safe, don’t go there.
  • Tell your supervisor when unsafe conditions, like ice or snow, prevent you from safely reaching a mail box.
  • If you start to fall, worry only about falling.
  • Drop what you’re holding. Don’t tense up.
  • Spread the impact – you’re more likely to bread something if only a single part of your body takes all the force of the fall.
