            We take precautions to be safe at work, but how much of our careful attitude do we take home with us? Accident statistics show that 90% of all fatalities occur outside the work environment. Too many workers leave their safety mindedness hanging at the time clock when they check out.  
               
               
            Swimming:
  • Never swim alone.
  • Supervise children and non-swimmers in or near the water.
  • Non-swimmers should not rely on flotation equipment.
  • Always swim parallel to the shore.
  • Watch for debris and sharp obects in the shallow water.
  • Know the depth of the water before you dive.
  • Snorkel or scuba dive only after you are qualified, and only with a buddy.
  • Check out currents and undertow before swimming.

Sunbathing:

  • Be aware that excessive exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays ages the skin considerably over time, and can result in skin cancer.
  • Apply a sun-screen lotion before every exposure to the sun, and re-apply it frequently.

Fireworks:

  • Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Keep spectators well away from the firing area.
  • Do not attempt to relight a firework. Dispose of used fireworks in sand or water.
  • Never allow children to use fireworks except under adult supervision.
  • Never hold a lighted fire cracker.

Safe Home:

  • Never leave objects on stairways or in hallways.
  • Make sure mats and carpets will not slip.
  • Replace damaged or missing stair treads.
  • Make sure your ladders have no loose rungs or cracks.
  • Never overreach on a ladder or stand on the top step of a ladder.
  • Do not use metal ladders when working near electricity

Motorcycles:

  • Be aware of other vehicles around you and those turning left in front of you.
  • Refuse to ride with any driver who has been drinking. Wear protective head, foot and eye equipment during every ride.
  • be visible - wear bright reflective clothing and make sure your headlight is on and working.
  • Slow down and live.
  • Take a safety training course.
