Staying safe matters for you and everyone else

Of course, precaution isn’t about living in fear and hiding away from life.

It simply means that you are aware of your surroundings and are doing what you can to keep yourself healthy and well.

There will always be situations beyond our control where we can not guarantee our safety.

However, doing what you can to keep yourself (and others) safe is a part of being a good member of society.

Everyone we encounter means the world to someone out there, and if we can keep each safe, then we should try.

So buckle up when you get in the car, weigh things like risk versus reward, and make smart choices.

What are some situations where you realized how important it was to stay safe?
