This week’s safety session focuses on what you can do to avoid slips, trips and falls:
- Focus on where you’re going, what you’re doing, and what lies ahead.
- Wear sturdy shoes with non-skid soles and flat heels.
- Walk, don’t run.
- Wipe your feet when you come in from rain or snow.
- Watch out for floors that are uneven, have holes, etc.
- Keep your hands at your sides, not in your pockets, for balance.
- Don’t carry loads you can’t see over.
- Walk slowly on slippery surfaces. Slide your feet and avoid sharp turns.
- Be constantly alert for and remove or go around, obstructions in your path.
