Summertime brings fun, sun, barbecues, road trips and more. With so much excitement going on, sometimes safety can take a backseat. It’s important though to be aware of some of the safety risks that are a part of summer fun so you can take precautions to help minimize your risks. Here are a few safety tips you may want to consider:
ONLY VISIT SAFE WATER AREAS: Who doesn’t like a refreshing swim or soak on a hot summer day? You and your family need to keep safety in mind though when you decide to visit any local pool or lake. Make sure there are trained life guards on duty, you have a life vest or flotation device to use and never leave children unattended.
READY YOUR CAR FOR THE ROAD: Summer road trips aren’t so fun if you suddenly find yourself broken down on the side of the road. Be sure your car is tuned up, tire pressure is checked and you have emergency food and water before you hit the road for a summer getaway.
STAY HYDRATED & COOL: So many people get sick, and even die from, heat exhaustion. If you spend a lot of time outdoors during the summer months, staying hydrated and taking breaks is imperative. The body loses so much fluid when you spend time in the blazing heat, so drink lot of water throughout the day. Also, give your body lots of opportunities to periodically cool down as well.
