As we approach winter season there are key safety aspects that we must take in order to have safe holidays.
- Bundle up. (Make sure all extremities, head, hands, legs are covered) *I had gloves on when originally shoveling.
- When shoveling snow, be sure to lift with your legs and NOT with your back. Do not bend over to lift, always squat. Bending over is dangerous and puts massive strain on your back.
- Wear appropriate boots. (Helps prevent frostbite and improves walking traction)
- Take adequate rests as to not put too much stress on your entire body (when shoveling)
- Drive only if required! and if your tires are up to code and fueled up. Nothing is worst than getting stuck in the snow without gas (more…)
