According to weather reports, it is expected to snow from this evening (Feb 1) until early tomorrow morning.
Please take care of the following points when commuting or going out.
■ Places believed to be dangerous (slippery) • Areas with a normally unnoticeable slope such as intersections and the boundaries between footpaths and pedestrian crossings.
• Lines on pedestrian crossings and manhole covers • Tiled underground areas and store entrances
■ 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
■ Other
• Have time to spare when going somewhere • Avoid distracting behavior such as using a mobile phone while walking • Do not use an umbrella in a way that hinders walking • Wear shoes that are not susceptible to slipping
