Avoid Ice

Most cold weather injuries result from falls on ice covered side walks, steps and driveways. Keep walkways free of ice by applying chemical deicing compounds, rock salt or sand. Walk slowly and cautiously, taking short flat steps. Wear shoes and boots with slip resistant soles that provide some degree of traction. Avoid wearing high heeled shoes and boots outdoors when conditions are icy.
