Warmer winter temperatures can make walkways and roads slippery and dangerous. Keep yourself and others safe by:

✅ Sanding or salting walkways to prevent slips.
✅ Wearing proper footwear with good traction.
✅ Staying visible while working outdoors.
✅ Allowing more time for travel.
✅ Adjusting speed for road conditions.

Commercial property owners, don’t forget that you are responsible for clearing snow and ice from sidewalks after a snowfall to keep your community safe!

When you see a hazard, fix it or report it to help prevent winter injuries. Your safety matters!
