Winter Safety Tip for Business Owners Tip #4: Designate safe walking paths to and from building to discourage potentially hazardous shortcuts.

When it’s cold, it’s easy to look for the shortest, fastest route from your vehicle to the entrance. Slip and fall injuries can result in injuries, pain, embarrassment, expensive medical bills and missed work, so it’s important to designate safe walking paths to discourage potentially hazardous shortcuts that could result in slips and falls.

Shortcuts can be icy or uneven, leading to insecure footing and a higher risk of slipping. Use signs, noticeable warnings, and even barricades to direct foot traffic.
