• Lead by example and never cut corners in terms of working safely. 
• Watch out for others and don’t be afraid to speak up if someone is placing themselves or others at risk.  Don’t simply ‘walk by’. 
• Always use the handrails and be fully attentive when using stairs whether you are outside or inside of a building. 
• If you see a hazard, do something about it. If you can’t personally make the change, report it to someone who can. 
• Be wary of extremely slippery surfaces that might be present from ice, sometimes hidden under fresh snow, or melted snow.
• Talk about current safety issues and success stories in your area. For meetings, use safety moments specific to your work environment. 
• Be vocal about safe work practices.  Look for opportunities to talk about potential hazards and safe work practices. 
• Learn from each other. Report near misses so others can be aware of issues.

Remember to be safe, and to look out for each other.
