Implement C-AD Winter Slip and Fall Controls
  • Check for rock salt at entrances to buildings
  • Custodians placed rock salt (white buckets) at
    doors
  • Contact Pete Cirnigliaro or Ray Karol to arrange
    for a rock-salt supply for buildings with no
    custodian
  • Workers and users can use rock salt in emergent
    situations
  • For routine snow and ice removal, PE performs
  • Ensure snowflake sign is displayed for
    high-priority areas

Winter Walking Tips

    sidewalks and steps clear of snow and ice
  • However, there may be icy patches they did not
    get to before youve walked to your office, work
    area, experiment, etc.
  • Thus, the following How to Walk tips Duh!

How to Prevent a Slip and Fall In Winter Weather
  • Wear the proper foot gear
  • Take small steps to keep your center of balance
    under you
  • Walk slowly and never run on icy ground
  • Keep both hands free for balance, rather than in
    your pockets
  • Use handrails from start to finish
  • Avoid carrying loads on stairways
  • Carry loads that you can see over
  • Keep your eyes on where you are going
  • Test potentially slick areas by tapping your foot
    on them
  • Step - Don't jump from vehicles and equipment
  • When inside, use floor mats to remove moisture
    from the soles of your shoes
