Use proper body mechanics: By minding proper body mechanics, you minimize the strain and possible pain on your body. Use equipment that is ergonomic in design for you. Work Smarter – Not Harder: Don’t wait until the snow fall is done to shovel it all at once. By shoveling while the snow is still falling, you can work quicker and handle less weight with each shovelful. Prevent slips and falls: By wearing proper foot wear, using salt or ice melt, you can avoid this, which can lead to major injury. After Care: While shoveling is a normal, it should be treated like any other strenuous activity – with care and consideration.
