Winter is fast approaching - and along with it, the hazards of slips and fallsdue to slippery surfaces. Slips and falls usually rate near the top for causes

for workplace injury, accounting for 17% of all workplace fatalities in2014. Understanding this, prevention of slips and falls should always be a

priority.

To help our employees avoid slips and falls Pottle's is offering all employeesfree "stabilicers". These devices help provide extra traction in ice and snow,like studded snow tires for your feet! They're easy to get on and off, and

come in 2 styles - full coverage or heel only.
