Exterior Safety

  • Pay attention to the surface you are walking on: be alert for ice, snow, wet or dry leaves, moss-covered stone paths or steps
  • Remember to salt icy sidewalks and pathways
  • When you get out of a car, test the condition of the ground for wetness or iciness before standing up and walking
  • Visually mark step edges to avoid tripping
  • Keep steps in good repair
