Kickstart the New Year with Essential Safety Resolutions: Prioritize Health, Fire Safety, Lab Protocols, Emergency Preparedness, and Distraction-Free Mobility Health and Wellness: Focus on heart health by learning CPR and participating in heart health awareness activities. Regular exercise and a balanced diet can also contribute to overall well-being. Fire Safety: Conduct regular fire drills at home and work. Ensure that smoke detectors are functioning and that you have a fire extinguisher readily available. Lab Safety: If you work in a lab, make sure to follow all safety protocols and attend any available safety training sessions. Proper handling and storage of hazardous materials are crucial. Emergency Preparedness: Create or update your emergency preparedness plan. This includes having a communication plan with family members and knowing the evacuation routes in your area. Distracted Driving Awareness: Commit to avoiding distractions and paying attention to your surroundings while driving, walking, or operating a scooter or bicycle on campus. This includes not using your phone, eating, or engaging in any activity that takes your attention away from watching the road or sidewalk traffic.
