Prevention of Accidents Involving Falling while Commuting or Going Out due to Snowfall

From an email that was sent round the office today, due to the recent snowfall in Tokyo:

■ How to walk safely
• Walk with smaller strides than usual
• Bend your knees a little and lean forward slightly as you walk
• Lower your center of gravity and walk with the entire surface of your shoes in contact with the ground
• Take care when starting to walk or changing speed because falls often occur at such times
