With winter weather right around the corner the Environmental Health and Safety Team (EHST) would like to remind everyone that although snow and ice can make accidents like slips and falls more likely, a little prevention can go a long way.

Consider the following safety tips:
• Stay informed of weather conditions. Local radio and TV stations provide updates, plus there are numerous weather-related websites and apps for smart phones. Sign up for LLCC Connect (https://forms.llcc.edu/connect) to receive information directly to your cell and/or home phone about LLCC weather closings and other emergency situations.
• Dress for the weather. A good pair of boots provides traction and helps keep your feet warm. A pair of gloves can keep you from having to put your hands in your pockets to keep them warm because you will want your arms free to catch your balance if you do slip.
• Watch your step outside. Be aware of slick conditions and take slower and shorter steps so that you can react quickly to any changes in traction.
• Watch your step inside. Snow and ice that get stuck in the deep treads of winter boots begin melting once inside and can create a wet, slick surface.
