Avoid slips, trips and falls this winter

Ice and snow can make the UAF campus walkways slippery, resulting in falls. To help employees stay on their feet, Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management provides free ice cleats to employees and students.

You can stop by the main office at 1855 Marika Road, if you would like to pick up a pair.  Otherwise, departments can order them on-line and have them available. You can put in an order at the Ice Cleat Program webpage.

Facilities crews work hard to keep the walkways clear of ice and snow and have placed sanding buckets in entryways of most UAF buildings. If you see a hazardous walkway that needs attention, and you are unable to sand it yourself, please contact Facilities Services at 474-7000.
