How To Avoid Slipping On Ice

Staying safe on ice, especially in winter conditions, involves being cautious and prepared.

Here are a few tips to help you avoid slipping on ice:

1. Wear well-fitted shoes with good traction
2. Walk like a penguin: Walk slowly, take small steps, keep your feet pointed slightly outwards
3. Keep your chest up, don’t lean forward
4. Keep your hands out of your pockets
5. Don’t text or talk on your phone and walk at the same time
6. Use handrails on stairs and ramps
7. Don’t carry heavy things (instead, use a backpack)
8. Find indoor spaces (like a mall) to get your steps in
