The extreme cold weather conditions we have been experiencing so far this winter present a number of safety hazards, including extremely cold temperatures and potentially slippery indoor and outdoor walking surfaces caused by ice and snow.
Winter Safety Tips:
- Check the weather conditions regularly, and give yourself extra time when travelling to arrive safely at your destination.
- Dress warmly and stay dry. Wear proper footwear for the weather.
- Slow down; adjust your pace to suit the walking surface.
- Be extra careful on walkways and parking lots where there may be slippery patches.
- When carrying objects, ensure that they do not block your view.
- Clean your footwear thoroughly on floor mats when you come indoors.
Immediately report hazards to Security: 416-675-8500 (e.g. icy walkways/parking lots, and wet or slippery floor surfaces)
