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!
