The New Year is fast approaching and just like the most of us, we know you are fuzzing to come up with lists of resolutions, too. Our resolutions mostly focus on health, financial literacy and overall wellness but have you thought about your safety? Yes, safety – the single most important aspect of your professional and personal life.
This year, why not make a list of resolutions to help you improve your safety and improve the quality of life you life? To help you get started, we have come up with a list of safety resolutions you should start committing to.
I will not text and drive.
We are all guilty of giving our phone a glimpse while driving – a bad habit we need to start breaking now. Texting and driving not only sacrifices your personal safety but also those you meet along the way. Make sure to reserve all communications before and after you hit the road. Resist the urge to respond to that text!
I will actively participate in safety trainings in the workplace.
Safety trainings are great opportunities for you to help make a more conducive work environment for yourself and your co-workers. Make the most out of the various safety training programs being carried out in your workplace and see what you can do to help make it a better environment for everyone.
I will raise concerns about my safety.
If you are an employee, it is important for you to feel safe within your workplace. If there is anything you see or feel that threatens your well-being, voice it out and demand they do something about it. Let your employers know that improving the safety measures in the workplace makes for a more productive and healthy employee – which means better business.
If an oversight in your company’s safety protocols placed you in danger, call us. We have a team of dedicated legal experts who can get you the compensation and assistance you need to get back on your feet.
I will wash my hands more often.
This harsh weather makes it so easy to catch a flue that is why committing to washing your hands more often is a great safety resolution to make. By washing your hands, you are preventing millions of germs from spreading and possibly afflicting you and your loved ones!
Keeping a hand sanitizer at an arm’s reach is also a good idea if you are always out and about. This makes for a more convenient way to win against the common causes of flue and cough.
I will beef up my home security.
When it comes to home security, it is always a good idea to be extra careful. Give your home a thorough look and upgrade the security in areas you deem fit. Also, this is a good time to get everyone on the same page when it comes to handling intruders and unknown guests.
I will know all the emergency hotlines.
You will never know when a situation can turn into an emergency scenario. Knowing whom to call is very important, especially during critical situations. Make a list of all the important numbers on your phone for easy access.
These are a few New Year’s safety resolutions you can make both in your professional and personal life to make for a better 2016. Take this time to reflect and improve the quality of life you live, one safety resolution at a time.
