As we tackle the winter weather and clear snow from our yards, it’s important to keep safety in mind. Shoveling can be physically demanding, and it’s crucial to be aware of the risks, especially if you experience shortness of breath, fatigue, or have any heart conditions.

Here are some tips to stay safe:

• Take frequent breaks to rest and catch your breath.
• Stay hydrated and avoid overexertion.
• Let a family member or friend know where you are while shoveling, just in case you need assistance.

Your health and safety come first! Let’s look out for one another this winter. Stay safe, everyone!
