Spring fever is here. Some warm days off and on make it hard to be patient with your outdoor activities. It is important to keep in mind of your surroundings. Falls are more likely this time of the year. Watch your step! Be aware of the sidewalks with snow and ice. The cold increases sidewalks to crack and heave making it easy to fall. Melting snow from your roof during the day turns to ice at night and early morning. Once again a fall risk. Are you wearing the proper shoes for the type of weather? These are only a few things to be aware of. Look around you, what else is a potential risk that you can fix now before it becomes a serious issue. Add your comments on how to mitigate fall risks.
