After the winter we had this past year, we are all enjoying the beautiful warm weather. With summer comes a few reminders of how to make it enjoyable while avoiding some of the common problem prone conditions that we should try to avoid. Here are a few of my own top 10 summer safety tips:
- Wear sunscreen (and a hat)
- Avoid excessive heat over long periods
- Check for Ticks
- Wear Bug Spray
- Wear a Helmet when biking
- Swim with a flotation device near
- Stay hydrated
- Be sky aware
- Remember your life jacket when boating
- Avoid wearing earbuds when running
Some of these you may agree with and others you may not. All of my top 10 safety tips come from an experience to explain the “why.” Think about your top 10 safety tips and have a safe summer!
