Employees miss more workdays as a result of off-the-job accidents, than they do from injuries suffered while at work. A higher percentage of off-worksite mishaps occur during the Winter Holidays. So before you head off for that Michigan winter getaway it's a good idea to review a few safe driving power points, as well as safe living questions and situational risks that can possibly be encountered during the winter holidays.
Besides providing employees with winter workplace safety tips, it's a profitable option to promote a safety culture off the job as well. As people engage in holiday activities they're unfamiliar with, they expose themselves to risks. Fortunately most seasonal accidents can be prevented with a little knowledge and foresight.
