Affected by a new round of cold wave weather, many places in my country have turned on blizzard mode.
The road is slippery in the snow and the road directly turns into a "skating rink".
To avoid falling when the road is slippery in cold weather, remember these points
↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
Always be vigilant
On snowy days, many places outdoors are slippery and easy to slip, so you should always stay vigilant in such an environment.
In particular, although there is no snow on many roads, there is a thin layer of ice.
This situation is the most easily overlooked and the most likely to cause slips and falls.
Wear warm clothing and non-slip shoes
When traveling in snowy weather, wear gloves and warm clothes; trousers should not be too long to avoid stepping on the trouser legs and causing a fall; socks should fit well and do not wear slippery stockings; shoelaces should be tied tightly and should not be too long to avoid stepping on them. Shoelaces cause falls; choose appropriate non-slip shoes.
walk slower
When traveling in the snow, it’s best to allow extra time.
Every step must be taken firmly, one step at a time, so as to avoid slipping when walking "down to earth". Especially when encountering uneven roads, you must slow down your pace.
Avoid walking in the dark
On snowy days, lack of light increases the likelihood of slips and falls.
Therefore, try to ensure that the travel environment is well-lit, try to avoid traveling in the dark, and carry a flashlight if necessary.
Elderly people should avoid going out
Elderly people should try to avoid traveling after snow. If they need to go out, try to be accompanied by family members.
In addition, assistive devices such as crutches can be used according to physical conditions.
