- Remove the snow from the bottom of your shoes before entering a building
- Slow down and take smaller steps
- Wear shoes with rubber soles that have good traction
- Be aware of surface conditions where you are walking; and walk around (versus through - no matter how "snow proof" your boots are) patches of snow and ice when possible
- Give yourself extra time to get to where you are going so you can walk more slowly
- Avoid the temptation to walk with your hands in your pockets-your arms are necessary to restore balance if you should slip
- Use handrails whenever possible
