March Still Poses a Slip and Fall Threat

Mar 12, 2023

Because we’re halfway through the month of March you might be thinking that we’re out of the woods in regard to slip and fall accidents, but the reality is, this is a very dangerous time of year. 


People let their guard down and miss the subtle cues that icy conditions may still be present.  There are still huge segments of the country that have nightly freeze warnings and some places are still getting massive snow. 


The snow is a huge problem if it accumulates to many feet, and overwhelms the crews charged with clearing the roads, but the bigger threat for safety managers and business owners is the thin invisible coating of ice that may make stairwells, walkways and parking lots slippery.

The average slip and fall injury costs over $40,000 and it may result in the loss of a valuable employee or a permanent injury to a customer. If you are the safety manager or business owner, be sure your IceAlert® displays are easy to see and up to date.  If they are over 5 years old they should be replaced to make sure they are recording and displaying accurate weather information.
