Here are some suggestions for PREVENTING FALLS in the winter:
 Allow enough time to get where you are going. The chances of falling increase when you rush; use less caution.
 Exercise caution when getting into and out of vehicles. Always hold securely to a door or another person.
 Take the path of least resistance. Look for the safest route to your location, including the paths into buildings.
 Ask for help. Ask someone to help you navigate slippery or unsafe paths.
 Concentrate on the path ahead. Take your time and walk slowly & deliberately. Wear appropriate footwear.
 Wear footwear with rough-textured soles that provide good grip in all conditions.
 Use handrails when they are provided. Holding securely to a handhold can prevent a fall if you should slip.
