Stay Safe This Winter: Practical Tips for Navigating Campus in Cold Weather

Posted on 8 November 2024

As the colder weather arrives, here are some simple steps that can make moving around campus safer.

  • Stay alert to icy areas and wear sturdy shoes or boots for good grip.
  • Stick to clear, gritted paths to reduce slipping.
  • Stay away from the lakes, especially when frozen. They can be deceptively dangerous.
  • Think about giving yourself extra time to get to your destination safely, without rushing.
  • If cycling, make sure your bike is fully lit up and keep speeds low to handle icy surfaces.

A little extra care can go a long way in keeping you safe!
