TIPS FOR A SAFER & EASIER JOB
Snow Removal is Essential
Shoveling snow can be a tough winter chore, but with the right approach, you can make it safer, faster, and easier.
Follow these tips to avoid injury, conserve energy, and clear your walkways efficiently!
Stay Safe & Avoid Risks
- Don’t Wait Too Long – Fresh snow is easier to shovel than packed, icy snow.
- Avoid Overexertion – Shoveling is strenuous; don’t ignore signs of exhaustion.
- Stay Hydrated – Cold air can still dehydrate you, so drink water.
- Be Cautious with Ice – Use salt, sand, or a de-icing agent to prevent slips.
Before you start
- Dress Warmly – Wear layered clothing, waterproof gloves, and slip-resistant boots.
- Stretch First – Warm up your muscles to prevent strains and injuries.
- Use the Right Shovel – A lightweight, ergonomic shovel reduces strain on your back.
- Apply De-Icer or Sand – Prevent ice buildup before and after shoveling.
Proper Shoveling Techniques:
- Push, Don’t Lift – Whenever possible, push the snow instead of lifting it.
- Bend Your Knees – Lift with your legs, not your back, to avoid strain.
- Take Small Loads – Overloading your shovel can lead to back injuries.
- Switch Sides – Alternate between left and right hands to prevent muscle fatigue.
- Take Breaks – Rest every 15-20 minutes, especially in heavy snowfalls.
Proper Shoveling Techniques:
-
Shovel in layers if snow is deep—don’t try to lift it all at once.
-
Clear snow before it gets packed down by foot traffic or cars.
-
Invest in a snow blower or hire help for large areas.
Stay safe, take your time, and keep those walkways clear this winter!
