Reducing winter slip and falls and other types of accidents begins with prevention. 

          Following are a few helpful tips and reminders when walking outside during inclement weather:

          1.  Plan ahead - Wait for bad weather conditions to clear before going out, if possible.

          2.  Wear non-skid, rubber-soled, low-heeled shoes, or lace-up shoes with non-skid soles.

          3.  Walk slowly and take small steps.

          4.  Stay attentive to the road and walking ground conditions.

          5.  Use handrails.
