Safety awareness begins with paying attention to your surroundings. Mark your calendar or set a reminder on your phone to do periodic safety checks at home, in the office, and in places you and your children visit regularly. Safety risks could include dirty spaces, dangerous water heater settings, or structural risks like mold, stuck windows and blocked exits.
