Working Outside this Winter? Follow these Safety Tips
Just because cold weather moves into the area doesn’t mean you have to stay indoors until spring. Like many, you may enjoy taking on an outdoor project during the winter months.
While there’s nothing wrong with this, you never want to do anything that will put your safety and well-being in jeopardy.
Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind when working outdoors in the cold:
· Dress appropriately. It’s easy to believe that you’ll work up a sweat, thus not needing to dress warm, but nothing could be further from the truth. The last thing you want is to find yourself cold and wet, as this can lead to a serious health concern like pneumonia.
· Watch for slippery spots. For example, your driveway could be slippery as a result of a recent snow or ice storm. If you’re not careful, you could slip, fall, and suffer a serious injury.
· Don’t push the limit. You know your personal limit better than anyone, so don’t push yourself too hard. If you’re getting tired, not feeling well, or are overly cold, take a break to regroup.
Just as it’s important to keep your home warm this winter, the same holds true for your body when working outdoors. There’s nothing more important than your health and safety!

Excellent service. Any question I had was addressed in a friendly yet professional manner. I have used Pond before for replacement windows and siding and most recently for new roofing. I highly recommend them for their responsiveness and the high quality of their work.
Easy communication with tons of photos and excellent job! Pond Roofing even came back to replace the color of the shingles to our satisfaction. The property was in McLean and they made me look great since my landlord client was very impressed. The swag cookies to our tenants was an added bonus. :-) Thanks so much!
Very fast initial response time and great customer service. Repair work was done (by prearrangement) while we had to be out of town and it looks great now that we are back. We have used Pond before and would call them first if we need roofing work in the future. Thanks!
Great communication, very professional repair crew. We have a new construction house that had some issues with vent seals after 10yrs and Pond fixed 8 different areas in one day--very happy with the work.
I recently hired Pond Roofing to check out a leak. They did a great job coming in on time and to troubleshoot the issue. Their pricing was competitive and overall service was excellent. I’m very happy with their work.
Pond Roofing was very responsive and knowledgeable about the condition of our roof. They delivered before the expected date and their work was impeccable. I cannot recommend working with Shanti enough.
Quality and Integrity. Terrific job on a roof repair. Called for a minor fix which was expertly accomplished. Patrick performed a complete inspection, ensuring no other damage or work needed. Perfect!
