Safety Tips

Winter is coming!  Prepare for inclement weather by reviewing following tips.

When clearing sidewalks after a snow storm, remember to 
take it easy and lift properly.
Watch where you walk in winter. Ice can form on parking lots 
and sidewalks.
Check your vehicle once a week for signs of problems with 
the tires, brakes, battery, etc.
Make sure your mirrors are properly adjusted before you 
start driving.
Carry emergency equipment in the vehicle - even if it is 
only flares, a flashlight, and a jack.
Size up the road as you drive, be a defensive driver.
The time to check your insurance policies is now, do not 
wait until a storm is approaching, it will be too late.

Remember, when working with a ladder, always follow the manufacturer's instruction.  Always place the ladder feet firmly and evenly on the ground.  Do not over-reach when you are on the ladder.
Make sure that you check your smoke detectors twice a year, when the time changes.  Practice exit drills and meet at a designated spot.
