Prevent Winter Slips and Falls

To reach your employees with a creative twist on winter safety habits, take advantage of SFM's "Penguin shuffle" series of materials.

Employer tips

Use the Employer's Guide to help you identify problem areas and for tips on things you can do to your workplace to prevent winter slips and falls. Use the sample slip and falls audit form when surveying your workplace.

Consider implementing a "Snow and ice program" that includes keeping an ice log for snow management purposes. This log is a sample; customize it to work for your organization.

Training tools

Use the Wintertime slips and falls 5-minute solution as a mini-training talk you can give to employees in less than five minutes.

Awareness tools

Use posters, table tents, envelope stuffers and email attachments to generate awareness among employees. There are six in the series. Use one each week to keep the topics fresh.
