WalkSafe for Education: Winter Weather Advisory/Employee Alert Guidelines

Winter weather can change suddenly and freezing rain and snow can quickly turn school sidewalks and parking lots into dangerous sheets of black ice. These weather changes may contribute to serious slip and fall injuries in parking lots, on sidewalks and at school entrances. The type of weather alert systems a school or college has in place to monitor changing conditions and promptly alert employees can play a big role in reducing these injuries throughout the winter season.
