As the weather starts to cool off you will find more people doing yard work and prepping for the new season. It is very enjoyable to work in the yard on a nice crisp fall day. 

Here are some safety tips should you decide to do yard work in the fall: 

Look Up Before Pruning Trees: Make sure you know the area before you start trimming your trees. You will want to know where power lines are before you set up your ladder and start with your trees. 

Use Caution on Ladders: Your ladder should be placed on a flat, level surface. More importantly make sure to wear appropriate footwear, ladders may be wet and prone to causing slips.

Clean Up Fallen Leaves: You will want to clear all walk and driveways of falling leaves since wet leaves make for a slippery pedestrian hazard. 

These are simple and easy little tips you can practice during the Autumn season to ensure safety all around you.
