Shoveling Safety Tips in Fairfield County CT

It's that time of year again- time to shovel, that is. Keep  everyone safe, including yourself with these handy shoveling tips.

Please remember that snow can be quite heavy, and it's much easier than you think to injure yourself while shoveling.

1. Don't be concerned about hiring someone if needed. If you are a senior citizen, unsteady on your feet, or out of shape, it would be much wiser to hire someone to do your shoveling for you.
2. Use a smaller shovel. the load will be lighter. Also, if your shovel is bent or damaged, go get a new one.
3. Before starting the task, be sure you have warmed up properly- for example, stretch like you would prior to an  exercise routine.   
4. Start slowly, work at a steady pace and take frequent breaks.  Stop and go inside if you become overheated
5. When you are shoveling snow be sure to rdrink plenty of fluids to avoid becoming dehydrated.  
6. Stand with your feet apart slightly and bend your knees as you lift. Your feet should point in the direction you are lifting and throwing in.
7. Take frequent breaks, and lay off the coffeee or caffeine, which can increase your heart rate.
