Cold, wet, and icy conditions raise the risk of slips, falls, and cold-related illnesses. As winter sets in, take steps to keep outdoor workers safe.
- Clear snow and ice from walkways, parking lots, and entry areas. Mark slippery spots with cones or signs.
- Wear sturdy boots with good traction to avoid slips and falls.
- Dress in layers: one to keep moisture off the skin, one to stay warm, and one to block wind and rain.
- Protect skin with sunscreen and lip balm, even on cloudy days.
- Know the signs of cold stress — shivering, numbness, or confusion — and get medical help fast if they appear.
- Take breaks in a warm area and sip warm drinks to stay hydrated.

Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) can happen in any job where workers repeat the same motion. Over time, this can lead to pain in the hands, wrists, arms, or back. Watch our new short video above to learn how simple changes — like taking breaks, adjusting workstations, and using ergonomic tools — can help prevent RSIs and keep workers healthy. Employers can use this free video in safety meetings or training sessions to raise awareness and protect employees from common injuries. Share it with your team to support healthy habits and safer work every day.
The holiday season brings heavier traffic and a rise in impaired driving crashes. December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month — a reminder that every fatal crash caused by alcohol, drugs, fatigue, or distraction is preventable. Law enforcement will be out for NHTSA’s Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign from December 12 to January 1, with zero tolerance for impaired driving.
Stay safe this season:
- Plan a sober ride before celebrating.
- Avoid distractions and set GPS or music before driving.
- Check weather conditions and pack an emergency kit.
- Always buckle up and rest before long trips.
- Remind coworkers and family to drive sober and report unsafe drivers.
Choose safety over risk — make this holiday season memorable for the right reasons.
