Minnesotans Know Winter: Walk on a Cleared Path
Help prevent and lessen winter slip, trip and fall incidents by using the below Step Wisely program poster, table tent and digital image. It reminds individuals to choose cleared walkways to avoid hazards, such as:
- Ice
- Holes and heaved pavement
- Sprinkler heads and water main shutoff valves
Place posters near workstations and high-traffic areas around the office, such as next to coffee pots, water stations and refrigerators.
Members may contact MCIT to request printed materials be sent to them.
The table tent is great for an eye-catching reminder at employees’ desks or displayed in other high-visibility areas, such as desks, tables, and break areas.
The digital (jpeg) image file can be used anywhere you can insert an image, such as on the employee intranet, emails, employee newsletter, computer lock screen.
Campaign Tips
- Place posters and table tents in prominent places, such as break rooms and exits
- Use the digital image creatively, such as posting to the intranet, emailing to staff, placing in employee newsletter or handing out at staff meetings
- Keep the message fresh: Use one topic for a few weeks then switch to another topic for a few weeks and so on
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.
