Help prevent and lessen winter slip, trip and fall incidents by using the below Step Wisely program activities to engage staff in the safety campaign. It gets employees thinking about slip, trip and fall hazards and what they can do to avoid injuries due to winter weather conditions.

The engagement activity is simple:

  • Place a bowl of bananas or oranges, depending on the poster chosen (see below), in a central location for staff
  • Post the corresponding poster above or near the bowl
  • Invite staff to grab a quick, healthy snack

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

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.
