Stay Safe This Season
3 Fall Safety Tips to Live By
September cues one of North Carolina’s most beautiful seasons, ushering in months of leaf spotting, apple bobbing, pumpkin picking, and hot cider sipping. With all of that autumn excitement, it’s easy to forget that the changing season also brings some specific hazards to be aware of. Keep these three tips in mind so you can stay safe this fall.
Watch for ChangingWeather
While it’s rare for North Carolina to see ice or snow until winter arrives, fall marks the last gasp of the season for tropical cyclones and brings the most rapid temperature changes of the year. Those dips and spikes can create slick frost, a hazard to pedestrians, and dense fog, which can cause problems for walkers, bikers, and drivers alike.
Keep an Eye Out While You Drive

While fog and damp roads can be dangerous, people on foot are the biggest concern for drivers in the fall months. Families head outdoors more often when the weather cools down to go for long walks and bike rides or work in their yards trimming back bushes and raking leaves. Keep a sharp eye out for those pedestrians when you’re on the road, and in particular, watch out for kids who will be leaping into leaf piles and scrambling house to house in the dark on Halloween. Speaking of leaf piles, you should take just as much care working in your yard as you do on the road. Activities like raking and bagging leaves, cutting back dead foliage, and trimming tree branches can expose you to the risk of slipping and falling. In particular, be careful when climbing on ladders to trim trees — always make sure your ladder is stabilized and avoid working alone if you can. The same goes for any manual labor you might do outdoors at work: Take extra care, just in case. If worst comes to worst and you’re injured in an accident through no fault of your own, whether on the road or at work, give Harman Law a call at 704-766-8729. We can help you recover the compensation you deserve. Do YardWorkWith Care
