FLOOD SAFETY TIPS With all the flooding we’ve experienced this past week, now is a good time to review with your employees the dangers flooding presents. Remind your employees that it only takes a mere six inches of fast-moving flood water to knock over an adult. It takes only two feet of rushing water to carry away most vehicles. This includes pickups and SUVs. Most flood-related deaths and injuries could be avoided if people who come upon areas covered with water followed this simple advice: Turn Around Don't Drown™.
Play it smart, play it safe. Whether driving or walking, any time you come to a flooded road, TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN™!Turn Around Don't Drown™ NEVER drive through flooded roadways. Turn Around Don't Drown™ Please visit Hawkeye Safety Website @ Have a Safe Day! Return to top http://hawkeyeintranet/index.cfm?treeID=8778 We encourage you and your employees to continuing working safely by following these simple safety guidelines: - Avoid areas already flooded, especially if the water is flowing fast.
