Stay Safe with These NHS-Recommended Tips 🏥
Cold weather can be tough, especially if you’re not used to extreme winter conditions. Follow these NHS safety guidelines:
1️⃣ Keep Warm 🧥
- Wear layers: Multiple thin layers trap heat better than one thick layer.
- Use winter accessories: Gloves, scarves, and hats help retain body heat.
- Heat your home: Keep your indoor temperature at least 18°C, especially if you have children or elderly relatives.
2️⃣ Travel Safely 🚗❄️
- Check weather updates before heading out.
- Avoid unnecessary travel if roads are icy.
- Drive cautiously: Use winter tyres and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
- Public transport may be delayed—plan accordingly.
3️⃣ Prevent Falls and Injuries 🚶🏽♂️⚠️
- Wear sturdy footwear: Slip-resistant shoes are essential.
- Walk carefully: Watch out for black ice.
- Use salt or grit: If you have outdoor steps, apply salt to prevent ice buildup.
4️⃣ Stay Healthy and Prepared 💊
- Stock up on essentials: Food, water, and medications in case of travel disruptions.
- Check on loved ones: Especially elderly or vulnerable friends and family.
- Flu jab: Cold weather can increase flu risks—consider getting vaccinated.
