SAFETY ON THE
ROAD
1.Know Your Signals. Be familiar with your street lights and its meaning.

2. Stop, look, and cross. This is the first rule in crossing the street. Be attentive
and observant of what is happening in your surroundings.

3. Pay attention –LISTEN. Do not use earplugs, head phones and any mobile
accessories that blocks the sounds of your surroundings. Most of the victims of
being hit a vehicle is the people who wears headphone or earplugs while
walking on the street.

4. Don’t run on roads. You wouldn’t know what’s coming to your direction. It is
more safe just to walk and walk on the side of the road.

5. Always use sidewalks. Sidewalks are meant for people walking but still pay
attention to your surroundings.

6. Crossroads and pedestrian crossing. There is specific place for crossing. Drivers
tend to give way to people crossing on pedestrian lanes because pedestrian are
the priorities in these areas.

7. Never stick hands outside the vehicle. We don’t know if there are single motors
who will pass through near your vehicle and might hit your hands if ever and
you’ll end up losing it.

8. Never cross road at bends. Road at bends is a blind sport for drivers.

9. Wear your helmet while riding the motorcycle or bicycle. Helmet is a safety
protective gear for head injury.

10. Do not rush. Most of the vehicle accidents are due to high speeding. Maintain
your speed while driving.

SAFETY AT THE
WORKPLACE:
1.Be aware of your surroundings. Be attentive and observant. Some accidents
happen due to lack of attention of their surroundings. You may not avoid totally
the accident but you may lessen the seriousness of the injury.

2. Be aware of new safety procedures. You should always be updated. Learning

new safety procedures may save your life from accidents. Most especially for
some natural disasters.

3. Keep emergency exits clear. Most especially if there is a fire. You might be
trapped in a floor where the emergency exit has a pad lock and you can’t find
anything to break it. It is advisable to open the fire exits on working hours and
close it after so you can avoid theft too.

4. Report unsafe conditions. Observe if there is unusual thins in your workplace.

Like for example, the plug in your office sparks, you should call the maintenance
personnel right away to fix it before it may cause fire
