Slippery Surfaces


The month of November typically brings with it a lot of rain. Wet surfaces can pose some serious problems.

1. Pay close attention to wet surfaces
entrances / exits
areas without carpet
areas where you get in and out of a vehicle

2. Work to eliminate wet areas
report spills
post signs in areas with wet surfaces

3. Pay attention to the type of clothing & footwear you have on
leather-soled shoes are very slippery in wet areas
getting caught in a down-pour without a hat, umbrella or coat can leave you
wet all day

4. Drive slowly in wet areas and anticipate the unexpected
people dash around when it is raining be aware of your surroundings
visibility it reduced when car windows are full of condensation and rain
