Shovelling Safely

Dec 19, 2010 | 10:18 AM

Now it’s time to shovel!

  When you look at the white fluffy snow sometimes you can forget how heavy it can be.  When you move the
snow push it away, try not to lift it.

Take a break if it gets to be too much.  Shoveling snow can be extremely hard work. 

Don’t over do it! Drink water, stretch, take a rest.  If you develop chest pain or unusual shortness of breath call 911 immediately!
