Safety starts with the small habits that protect us every day. For McAsphalt Safety Week, we’re sharing practical safety tips from our Safety Toolkit that extend beyond the worksite and into everyday life.
✅ Tip #1: Three Points of Contact
The Three Points of Contact rule means always having two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand in contact with a surface to maintain balance and stability.
At work, this helps prevent slips and falls when climbing on or off equipment and ladders.
In everyday life, this looks like:
- Keeping a hand on the railing while using stairs
- Maintaining contact with your vehicle when getting in or out
- Using support when walking on icy, wet, or uneven surfaces
- Stabilizing yourself before reaching, lifting, or carrying heavy items
At McAsphalt, we know strong safety habits at work help keep us safer
everywhere.
