Winter is cold, frigid, freezing, and unforgiving. The temperatures are practically unbearable without the proper gear and working outdoors during the winter poses a definite increase in hazards and the risk of injury. Regardless of how safe you are or how warm you dress, accidents can happen, and one of the biggest threats out there is the workplace terrain.
 
The combination of snow, freezing rain and brutal winds can create less-than-desirable job sites where materials and surfaces can become dangerous and even lethal. Snow cover (especially drifting snow) increases the risks of slips and falls, but it also hides potentially dangerous obstacles such as holes, ditches, pipes, cables, rebar and various other materials. One of the best precautions you can take to battle the unforgiving winter weather and reduce your chances of injury is to make sure you have quality footwear that offers sufficient traction.

Ice traction devices such as those from Trex offer impeccable traction, helping to keep you on your feet and in control at all times. Whether you're crossing an icy parking lot, working on a scaffolding or scaling a steel staircase, you're going to have optimal traction. These devices make it easier to move, carry tools or materials, and focus on your job than just using work boots alone. Even without snow, freezing ground or exposed surfaces can become slick with even the slightest presence of moisture. It's always better to be safe rather than sorry!
