What are examples of safety precautions?

Answer 1

Examples of safety precautions don't change much regardless of location(s):

• Don't horse around, play around, joke around where it is unsafe, or in an unsafe manner.
• Practice using safety.
• Walk, don't run inside.
• Don't slide down banisters.
• Use an object for the purposes it was intended. e.g. banister is for holding on not sliding down; a chair is for sitting, not standing; etc.)
• Don't run with scissors in your hand.
• Don't get too close to an edge on a high place.
• Hold on to rails.
• Keep sharp blades pointed downward when walking.
• Put things away.
• Keep things cleaned up; clean up after yourself.
• Use your legs to lift, not your back.
• Don't block pathways.
• Don't overload an electrical circuit.
• Check equipment and cords.
• Don't use faulty equipment or electrical cords.
• Don't put food on unclean surfaces.
• Don't mix raw meats or lay one meat where another meat had been sitting.
• Keep cold foods cold; warm foods warm; refrigerate properly.
• Cover your mouth when you cough; use the crook of your elbow, not your hand.
