Tips to avoid injuries when shoveling snow

1. Plan ahead


2. Warm up


3. Push the snow


4. Lift wisely


5. Go out often

When snow accumulation is expected, go shovel a few times over a longer period of time. Shoveling several smaller quantities will be easier than shoveling all of the snow in one go.

6. Use appropriate equipment


7. Drink water

Because of the low temperatures, you may not feel like you're warm. Shoveling can be more demanding than you think. Take a break once in a while and keep hydrated.
