“Walking in a Winter Blunderland” Video

Help prevent and lessen winter slip, trip and fall incidents by using the below Step Wisely program video to get employees thinking about slip, trip and fall hazards and what they can do to avoid injuries due to winter weather conditions.

The video is a great way to kick off the Step Wisely campaign or re-engage staff midway through it.

The animated videos available to MCIT members as part of MCIT’s loss control and risk management services can be shared with member employees in two ways. See instructions below.

Option 1: Stream Videos on Intranet Site

You need to capture the embed code for each video to stream them on your intranet site. Work with your intranet manager to place the embed code.

  1. Locate the video you want to add to your intranet site . Click on the paper airplane icon in the upper right corner of the video (see above).

  2. Click the blue “Copy” box to capture the embed code (see above).

  3. Paste the embed code into the code of the intranet page where you want the video to appear (see above). The embed code looks something like this: <iframe src=”https://player.vimeo.com/video/111111111” width=”640” height=”360” frameborder=”0” allowfullscreen></iframe>

Option 2: Provide Hyperlink to Video

This allows you to provide a link to the animated videos to employees that takes them to view the animated videos online. You could post the links on the entity’s intranet site or distribute in e-mails, for example.

Suggestion: For the most impact, hyperlink a screen shot image of the video’s title screen to increase the visual appeal.

  1. Follow steps 1 through 3 above for capturing the embed code.
  2. Paste the embed code into a text file.
  3. Delete extraneous text as shown here: <iframe src=”https://player.vimeo.com/video/111111111” width=”640” height=”360” frameborder=”0” allowfullscreen></iframe>
  4. The remaining text is the URL (link) for the video at the MCIT online player. Use the link to connect employees to the video.

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.
