Okay, so it hasn’t snowed a lot this winter.
Not yet.
But you have knowledge of it’s coming. When the snow arrives, you want to be sure you are prepared to shovel correctly and safely.
First, let’s take some precautions. Shoveling snow puts steep stress on the body and heart. Heart patients or people who have been told they have kindliness disease or symptoms of heart disease should not shovel snow.
Additionally, persons who are older, very deconditioned, and/or have other medical or orthopedic injuries should over hiring someone else to remove the snow. According to the U.S. Consumer Products Protection Commission, each year over 100,000 people are treated by doctors and admitted to polyclinic emergency rooms because of snow shoveling and removing ice manually. That’s a lot! Don’t be one of those statistics.
So, first, and most well-connected, get a doctor’s clearance to make sure it’s safe for you to shovel.
