| ALWAYS REMEMBER T0 THINK SAFETY IN ALL THINGS THAT WE DO. AT WORK, AT SCHOOL ,OR AT HOME. WHEN EVER WE GO TO A SHOPPING MALL OR THE CORNER STORE, THINK ABOUT THE EXITS. HOW CAN YOU GET OUT IF YOUR ENTERANCE DOOR WAS BLOCKED? IT COULD BE FIRE OR SMOKE OR SOMEONE WITH A WEAPON. IT COULD BE A CHEMICAL TRUCK ACCIDENT OUT IN THE STREET .IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE AN ADULT OR A CHILD, YOU SHOULD BE THINKING AHEAD. DISCUSS THESE EXIT STRATAGIES WITH YOUR FRIENDS. AT HOME PLAN YOUR EXITS FROM EACH ROOM OF YOUR HOUSE. THEN GO BACK AND PLAN A SECOND EXIT IN CASE THE FIRST WERE TO BE BLOCKED. |
| CHECK YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR EVERY MONTH FOR OPERATION BY PUSHING THE TEST BUTTON. CHANGE THE BATTERY IN YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR TWICE YEARLY. AN EASY WAY TO REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE BATTERY IS WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR CLOCKS FOR DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME. |
