Keep Safe When Out and About

Take extra care to avoid slips and trips by avoiding unnecessary outings when it is icy or snowy underfoot. Wear a pair of sturdy shoes with non-slip soles to help prevent a nasty tumble and potential injury and use a walking stick if needed to help steady yourself.

It is also important at night or in poor daylight, to wear something light coloured, bright, fluorescent, or reflective to help other road users see you and avoid accidents.
