Ice and snow ruining your morning commute? Your tires may not be the only thing sliding around this winter. Car accidents aren't the only accidents keeping emergency rooms busy. Emergency rooms get plenty of business from slip and fall accidents, too.
Protect your family, friends, customers and clients by being proactive with snow removal. Shovel early and often. Be sure your sidewalks and stairs are salted several times a day. Fix any gutters that may leak and cause ice patches to form on your sidewalks and entrances to your building.
