Cellphones and driving

Using a cellphone while driving — whether hands-free or handheld — is dangerous. Break the habit. Schedule calls for times when you’re not driving. Tell people not to call you when you’re at the wheel. If a ringing phone is too tempting, mute it or put it in the glove box before you turn the key.

Consider using call blocking technology when driving. Or just turn off the phone.

Not being distracted by a cellphone allows you to concentrate on driving.

And that’s smart safety.

Smoke alarms

Pay attention to smoke alarms. You’re responsible for knowing what to do whenever you hear them sound. When you hear a fire or smoke alarm, act quickly and follow your evacuation plan. Never disable an alarm. If you notice a power light is out, report it.

Knowing how to exit your facility safely when an alarm sounds could prevent you from being trapped in a burning building.

And that’s smart safety.
