Statistics show that more accidents occur during the holiday season than the rest of the year. People are preparing for the holidays and traveling more. The secret to a safe holiday is start early. Travel to the mall early while traffic is light. Come home early from the mall to avoid congested highways and the danger of people driving from party to party without a designated driver. Check all decorative lights and extension cords for any exposed wires. Discard any defective lights or electrical cords. Is your smoke detector equipped with a new battery? Is your fire extinguisher fully charged? Do you know how to operate it?
Stop and think about your safety and the safety of the people around you now. It will make for a happy holiday season and safe New Year. For more safety tips and information on the district’s Safety/Health Action Committee, visit the Risk Management website at www.sandi.net/risk.
Best Wishes for a Safe and Restful Winter Break and Happy New Year!
