- Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Always wear a helmet when on a bicycle, motorcycle, scooter, snowmobile and other open unrestrained vehicles
- Wear a helmet when participating in contact sports
- Wear a helmet when horseback riding
- Wear a helmet while skiing, snowboarding, skating and skateboarding
Fall Prevention Methods:
- Use the rails on stairways
- Provide adequate lighting, especially on stairs for people with poor vision or who have difficulty walking
- Place bars on windows to prevent children from falling
- Sit on safe stools
- Do not place obstacles in walking pathways
Gun Safety:
- Keep guns locked in a cabinet
- Store guns unloaded
- Store ammunition apart from guns
