Winter in the northwest brings additional challenges. The simple task of getting in and out of the cab of your truck can be extremely dangerous. Mud, snow, ice, frigid temperatures. Surface conditions can change minute by minute. On top of that, we work in this environment sometime from before daylight until dark.
Here are some suggestions to reduce winter slips, trips, and falls:
- Be aware of your surroundings
- Be cautious when entering or exiting your truck
- Maintain three points of contact (two hands and one foot)
Oh, the weather outside is frightful… be diligent, be safe!
