Winter Safety Tips: NSC
Drive Safely in the Snow. Driving in the winter means changes in the way you drive. Snow, sleet and ice can lead to hazardous road conditions. Prepare your vehicle for the upcoming winter season with these helpful tips.
Avoid Shoveling, Snowblowing Injuries. Shoveling snow or using a snowblower are among winter’s most grueling activities. High levels of activity in cold temperatures put many people at risk of heart attack, especially those that have inactive lifestyles.
Treat Frostbite Immediately: Use first aid to help someone who may have hypothermia or frostbite. Online and classroom courses are available at workplaces and other organizations through NSC. Download the NSC first aid app and you will be ready to give first aid for frostbite, hypothermia and many other emergencies.
Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Carbon monoxide detectors save lives. Every year, hundreds of people die and tens of thousands are treated for carbon monoxide poisoning. The most common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are often described as “flu-like” – headache, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain and confusion. Check out our carbon monoxide fact page.
Avoid Injuries While Enjoying the Winter Weather: Whether you are skiing and snowboarding, sledding or skating, take safety precautions like learning basic skills and using the appropriate gear for the sport.
