Walking in a Winter Blunderland: Keep Hands Free for Balance
Help prevent and lessen winter slip, trip and fall incidents by using the below Step Wisely program poster, table tent and digital image. It reminds individuals to avoid a slip and fall by:
- Keeping their hands free balance
- Taking slow, short steps
- Picking up feet and not leaning forward
- Using handrails on steps
Members may request to have printed materials sent to them.
Campaign Tips
- Place posters and table tents in prominent places, such as break rooms and exits
- Use the digital image creatively, such as posting to the intranet, emailing to staff, placing in employee newsletter or handing out at staff meetings
- Keep the message fresh: Use one topic for a few weeks then switch to another topic for a few weeks and so on
MCIT’s Step Wisely program helps make slip, trip and fall prevention efforts easy for its members. Slip, trip and fall incidents are particularly prevalent during Minnesota winters. Providing your employees and the public information to help them make safer behavior choices could keep your employees from being injured and save your organization significant costs, time and grief related to those injuries.
