Winter Safety Tips to Prevent Slips, Trips, and Falls Today's podcast will discuss Winter Safety Tips to prevent slips, trips, and falls. So - stay tuned. You can find the show notes to each episode, links to the information mentioned on the podcast, the social media platforms we're on, and anything else related to the podcast at WarehouseSafetyTips.com. If you're a seasoned Podcast Listener, this podcast will be different from most you listen to.  It's based on exactly what the name implies - Warehouse Safety Tips.  And since the people in that industry are busy - we know time is money so each episode will be as short and to the point as possible. And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast! Winter Safety Tips to Prevent Slips, Trips, and Falls As winter approaches, the risk of slips, trips, and falls in factories and warehouses increases significantly. The combination of snow, ice, and water tracked in from the outside and the presence of oils and fluids often found in these settings creates a potentially hazardous environment for workers. To maintain a safe workplace, it's crucial to implement effective strategies. Here, we provide four essential tips to help prevent these common accidents. 1. Regular Maintenance and Cleaning: Ensure all walkways, especially those near entrances, are regularly cleaned and maintained. This includes promptly removing snow and ice and ensuring that water or fluids are quickly mopped up. Non-slip mats can effectively absorb moisture from shoes at entrance points. Regular checks for spills, especially of oils and liquids common in industrial settings, can prevent many slip-and-fall incidents. 2. Proper Footwear and Signage: Encourage or mandate footwear with adequate traction, specifically designed for industrial environments. This can greatly reduce the risk of slips and falls. Moreover, visible signage indicating wet or slippery surfaces is essential. These signs warn employees of potential hazards and encourage a culture of safety and awareness in the workplace. 3. Employee Training and Awareness: Invest in regular training sessions for employees. These should cover the risks associated with winter weather conditions and the dangers of oil and fluid spills. Educating workers on safely navigating these hazards, including proper walking techniques on slippery surfaces, can greatly reduce accidents. Additionally, fostering a culture where employees feel responsible for reporting potential risks is crucial. 4. Implementing Safety Protocols and Equipment: Develop and enforce safety protocols specific to winter conditions and the handling of oils and fluids. This might include using absorbent materials for spills, barriers around spill areas, and ensuring all pathways are well-lit. Additionally, equipping sites prone to slip and fall accidents with handrails or other support structures can provide extra safety. By incorporating these tips, factories and warehouses can reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls during winter. It's a collective effort that involves maintaining clean and safe environments, ensuring proper equipment and training, and fostering a culture of safety and awareness. Remember, a safer workplace is not only beneficial for employees but also for the overall productivity and reputation of the business.

With the winter weather now fully upon us we thought it was a good time to remind everyone about winter safety.  Hypothermia is a medical emergency that occurs when your body loses heat faster than it can produce heat, causing a dangerously low body temperature. Normal body temperature is around 98.6 F (37 C). Hypothermia (hi-poe-THUR-me-uh) occurs as your body temperature falls below 95 F (35 C). When your body temperature drops, your heart, nervous system and other organs can't work normally. Left untreated, hypothermia can lead to complete failure of your heart and respiratory system and eventually to death. Hypothermia is often caused by exposure to cold weather or immersion in cold water. Primary treatments for hypothermia are methods to warm the body back to a normal temperature. And being the animal lovers that we are we also talk about their safety in the winter.  Our main concern is always for the health and safety of our guests, our listeners and any service animals.

In this episode we talked about our own version of "It's a Wonderful Life" which is a classic Christmas movie, picture life without you, and think about the good things that don't get to, or wouldn't happen, if you were around.

And after we recorded this episode, Alex had one of those "it could always be worse events" where his main vice that helps him get along on the day to day is now gone. And he has hit that slump. So I ask everyone who listens just to look after those you care for. And make sure they're doing well.

Dr. Appelbaum (Orthopedic Surgeon and Sports Medicine Specialist) talks about staying active during the winter. Dr. Appelbaum explains the benefits of staying active, the importance of it, and simple ways that people can incorporate movement during those months.

Winter storms and cold temperatures can be dangerous. Stay safe and healthy by planning ahead. Prepare your home and vehicles. Prepare for power outages and outdoor activity. Check on older adults. Although winter comes as no surprise, many of us may not be ready for its arrival. If you are prepared for the hazards of winter, you are more likely to stay safe and healthy when temperatures start to fall. Prepare Your Home Staying inside is no guarantee of safety. Take these steps pdf icon[PDF – 344 KB] to keep your home safe and warm during the winter months. Winterize your home. Install weather stripping, insulation, and storm windows. Insulate water lines that run along exterior walls. Clean out gutters and repair roof leaks. Check your heating systems. Have your heating system serviced professionally to make sure that it is clean, working properly, and ventilated to the outside. Inspect and clean fireplaces and chimneys. Have a safe alternate heating source and alternate fuels available. If you do not have a working smoke detector, install one. Test batteries monthly and replace them twice a year. Prevent carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning emergencies. Install a CO detector to alert you of the presence of the deadly, odorless, colorless gas. Check or change the battery when you change your clocks in the fall and spring. Learn the symptoms of CO poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion.   Get your vehicle ready for cold weather use before winter arrives. Prepare Your Vehicle Get your vehicle ready for cold weather use before winter arrives. Service the radiator and maintain antifreeze level. Check your tires' tread or, if necessary, replace tires with all-weather or snow tires. Keep the gas tank full to avoid ice in the tank and fuel lines. Use a wintertime formula in your windshield washer. Prepare a winter emergency kit to keep in your car in case you become stranded. The kit should include: Cell phone, portable charger, and extra batteries; Items to stay warm, such as extra hats, coats, mittens, blankets, or sleeping bags; Food and water; Booster cables, flares, tire pump, and a bag of sand or cat litter (for traction); Compass and maps; Flashlight, battery-powered radio, and extra batteries; First-aid kit; and Plastic bags (for sanitation). Prepare for Emergencies Be prepared for weather-related emergencies, including power outages. Stock food that needs no cooking or refrigeration and water stored in clean containers. Ensure that your cell phone is fully charged. When planning travel, be aware of current and forecast weather conditions. Keep an up-to-date emergency kit pdf icon[PDF – 6.5 MB], including: Battery-operated devices, such as a flashlight, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio, and lamps; Extra batteries; First-aid kit and extra medicine; Baby items; and Cat litter or sand for icy walkways. Protect your family from carbon monoxide (CO). Keep grills, camp stoves, and generators out of the house, basement and garage. Locate generators at least 20 feet from the house. Leave your home immediately if the CO detector sounds, and call 911.   Wear appropriate outdoor clothing: layers of light, warm clothing; windproof coat, mittens; hats; scarves; and waterproof boots. Take Precautions Outdoors Outdoor activities can expose you to several safety hazards, but you can take these steps to prepare for them: Wear appropriate outdoor clothing: wear a tightly woven, preferably wind-resistant coat or jacket; inner layers of light, warm clothing; mittens; hats; scarves; and waterproof boots. Sprinkle cat litter or sand on icy patches. Learn safety precautions to follow when outdoors. Work slowly when doing outside chores. Take a buddy and an emergency kit when you are participating in outdoor recreation. Carry a cell phone. Do This When You Plan to Travel When planning travel, be aware of current and forecast weather conditions. Avoid traveling when the National Weather Service has issued advisories. If you must travel, inform a friend or relative of your proposed route and expected time of arrival. Follow these safety rules if you become stranded in your vehicle. Make your vehicle visible to rescuers. Tie a brightly colored cloth to the antenna, raise the hood (if it is not snowing), and turn on the inside overhead lights (when your engine is running). Move anything you need from the trunk into the passenger area. Stay with your vehicle unless safety is no more than 100 yards away. Keep your body warm. Wrap your entire body, including your head, in extra clothing, blankets, or newspapers. Huddle with other people if you can. Stay awake and stay moving. You will be less vulnerable to cold-related health problems. As you sit, keep moving your arms and legs to improve circulation and stay warmer. Run the motor (and heater) for about 10 minutes per hour, opening one window slightly to let in air. Make sure that snow is not blocking the exhaust pipe—this will reduce the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Be ready to check on family and neighbors who are especially at risk from cold weather hazards: young children, older adults, and the chronically ill. If you have pets, bring them inside. If you cannot bring them inside, provide adequate, warm shelter and unfrozen water to drink. No one can stop the onset of winter. However, if you follow these suggestions, you will be ready for it when it comes. ​ (Credits: CDC)
