Dyngus Day Safety Tips

Śmigus-dyngus! Monday is Dyngus Day so grab your squirt guns and pussy willows and don your red and white for the annual Dyngus Day parade!

With numerous church halls, restaurants, bars, and social clubs hosting celebrations, it’s important to remember it’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. If you plan to offer Polish food, music, and entertainment, ensure your property is safe for attendees:

• With rain forecasted for Monday, avoid slick or slippery floors by laying down slip-free mats or rugs to absorb water being tracked indoors.
• Illuminate all outdoor walking paths, decks, patios, and stairs with LED path lights, flood lights, step-deck lighting, or reflective tape.
• Use signs, noticeable warnings, or even barricades to direct foot traffic and block off areas that guests should not wander into.
• Fix any broken or uneven steps, sidewalks, or railings.
• Remove any obstacles or clutter from walking paths.

• Tape down or mark any outdoor electrical cords that pose a trip hazard.

When property owners fail to maintain their property, they put pedestrians and consumers at risk of slips and falls, which can lead to serious injuries. Injuries after a slip and fall can lead to lost wages, unexpected medical bills, long-term pain and suffering, or even permanent disability.
