New York City boasts an array of world-famous landmarks, each offering a unique blend of history, culture, and architectural wonder. Some of these iconic sites include:

Safety First: Tips for Avoiding Slip & Fall Accidents

 Stay Alert: Pay attention to your surroundings, especially in crowded areas, and watch out for ladder setups.

 Keep a Safe Distance: Maintain a respectful distance from wet floors, repair areas etc. Respect any barriers or warning signs.

 Report Hazards: If you notice unsafe conditions or hazardous situations, alert the authorities or landmark staff.

 Wear Appropriate Footwear: Choose comfortable, slip-resistant shoes to navigate potentially slippery surfaces around landmarks.
