For this week’s safety session, here are some tips for a safe Valentines Day:

Gear Up: Are you considering a new, potentially risky, or unsafe activity? Be sure to use appropriate safety gear, including seat belts, life vests, and helmets to help prevent injury.

Watch the sparks: If you decide to cook a romantic dinner, light some candles, or have a cozy fire, don’t leave them unattended.

Be Aware: Women are more likely to be victims of sexual violence, including intimate partner violence, than men. Risk factors such as drinking alcohol and using drugs are associated with a greater likelihood of violence.
