Here are some suggestions for PREVENTING FALLS in the winter:
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.
