After heavy snowfall, ERs see many snow shoveling injuries. Use proper technique, warm up, wear layered clothing, and take breaks to reduce risk. Push rather than lift, face the snow, keep a straight back, and avoid overloading the shovel. Check for heart attack signs and consider help if inactive or high risk.
Winter shovels vary in blades and handles. Plastic blades are light and durable, metal blades resist sticking snow. Ergonomic handles ease lifting, and power shovels speed work. Warm up, lift with legs, and push or lift half a shovel full at a time to avoid back strain.
