Ice hazards refer to dangerous conditions created by the presence of ice on surfaces such as roads, sidewalks, and bodies of water. These hazards can lead to slips and falls, vehicle accidents, and unsafe conditions for outdoor activities like ice fishing or snowmobiling. In colder climates, ice can form unexpectedly, making it difficult to predict when surfaces will be slippery. Additionally, thin ice on lakes and rivers can pose serious risks for individuals who venture onto it, as it may not support their weight. Awareness and caution are essential to avoid accidents related to ice hazards.
