Use ice cleats to prevent springtime falls

With a little planning, caution and proper footwear, you can remain upright during our sometimes-treacherous springtime conditions. Slip and fall injuries tend to be UAF’s most frequently reported accident.

To help prevent these injuries, UAF offers ice cleats to all employees and students, free of charge. These ice cleats slip over existing footwear and are very effective at helping prevent falls on ice and snow.

Get yours today by stopping by the Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management (EHSRM) office at 825 Alumni Dr. from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday.

EHSRM will also ship ice cleats to addresses outside Fairbanks. More information can be found at www.uaf.edu/safety/risk-management/ice-cleat-program/.
