• Before a snowfall, consider salting your sidewalks and driveway.
  • Dress warmly and use an ergonomically designed shovel.
  • Keep up with the snowfall. It’s easier to shovel a few inches at a time, rather than a foot of snow.
  • When shoveling, be aware of your back, bend at your knees and avoid unnecessary twisting.
  • Shovel lighter loads of snow and take breaks often.
  • Use rock salt or de-icing to help eliminate ice and slick conditions after shoveling.
