  • Keep the message fresh: Use one topic for a few weeks then switch to another topic for a few weeks and so on

The Step Wisely Program

MCIT’s Step Wisely program helps make slip, trip and fall prevention efforts easy for its members. Slip, trip and fall incidents are particularly prevalent during Minnesota winters. Providing your employees and the public information to help them make safer behavior choices could keep your employees from being injured and save your organization significant costs, time and grief related to those injuries.
