Colorado drivers know the special hazards of winter driving, but take time to remind your employees about about the dangers. One of the most terrifying experiences in winter driving is the skid. If it happens at high speed, the result could be a disastrous crash. Most skids could be avoided by adjusting to the conditions, and it is possible to recover from skids if you know how. Check out Pinnacol's video on winter driving. 

 

Winter is also prime time for icy outdoor slips and falls. Share these tips with all of your employees!
