Shovel Smart!
- Shoveling heavy, wet snow can cause back injuries and heart attacks. Don’t push yourself!
- Dress warmly, making sure to cover your head, fingers and toes.
- Stay hydrated, but avoid heavy meals right before or after shoveling.
- Move only small amounts of snow with each pass of the shovel.
- Take frequent breaks. Stop shoveling entirely if you feel exhausted!
