We’re right at the beginning of the winter season! With that comes a number of safety hazards, one of the easiest to forget is how to walk safely, so this week’s safety message covers just that:

• Take short steps or shuffle for stability.
  • “Walk like a penguin”
• Keep your hands out of your pockets
• Keep center of gravity on one leg.
• Use designated walkways.
• Wear proper footwear
  • Ice cleats are available at the CHSB Injury Prevention store, with employee discount available
• Be seen and wear reflective tape.
• Dress warm
  • Wear layers of warm clothing
  • Wear a coat, hat, gloves and a scarf.
