Winter Hazards

Being stranded in a vehicle can be hazardous until help arrives. If you leave the car running, make sure the tail pipe is clear of snow. Prepare by using a good antifreeze, changing out the wiper blades and use snow tires, if needed. Put together a “cold bag” to stay in the trunk that includes extra layers — hats, gloves, socks, jackets and blankets. Include a first-aid kid and non-perishable snacks. A bag of kitty litter can be helpful for traction. Keep a phone charger in the console, and charge up your phone soon after you get stranded to make sure it’s charged if you have to wait for rescue.

Winter Hazards

Hypothermia can happen even in relatively warm temperatures if you’re not prepared to be out in the cold for an extended period of time. Shivering is an early sign of hypothermia. If you start feeling tired or confused, it is time to go inside and get warm.

Holiday Hazards

Falls from ladders are a common occurrance during the holidays when people put up holiday decorations. If you strike your head, you should be seen by a doctor. If you have a loss of consciousness, you should be seen in the Emergency Room. After a fall from a ladder you will likely be stiff and sore all over. A good neuromuscular massage can lessen the effects of a fall.
