Many people view Labor Day as the end of summer and their last chance to travel, hit the beach and fire up the grill. Citiguard Security Guard Services offers safety tips to help everyone have a safe and enjoyable holiday.
Check weather and water conditions beforehand and throughout the day.
Always swim with a buddy in a designated swimming area supervised by a lifeguard.
Provide constant supervision to children in or near the water and always stay within arm’s reach of young children and inexperienced swimmers while they are in the water.
Young children and inexperienced swimmers should wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets.
Back-to-school does not have to mean back-to-worrying. Though safety inside school is ultimately the responsibility of the principal and school staff, parents can take a few basic steps to ensure a safe school experience. These are recommended by the National Association of Elementary School Principals:
Learn the school’s emergency procedures. Emergency plans and phone numbers are usually included in school handbooks and posted in classrooms. Taking a few extra minutes to familiarize yourself and your child with emergency information can give him the confidence he needs to act quickly in emergency situations.
Know travel routes to and from the school. Make sure you and your child know both primary and alternate routes. In an emergency, roads can be blocked and it’s important to have a backup plan.
Know and follow school security and safety measures. These might include signing in when visiting the school, being escorted when walking through the building, or wearing a visitor pass. Following these procedures also sets a great example for your kids.
Talk with your child about safety. Be specific. Talk about instinct and paying attention to funny feelings of fear. Explain what to do if she doesn’t feel safe (find a teacher, call 911, etc.). Make sure she knows how to contact you or a trusted neighbor who is likely to be at home.
Inform school staff about health and emotional concerns. Whether your child has a food allergy, a physical disability, or has been subject to bullying, make sure to keep your child’s teachers and principal in the loop.
Get involved. Talk with the principal about what you can do to increase school safety, such as organizing parents to form a neighborhood watch before and after school. Sometimes parent groups are highly successful in making improvements in traffic safety during drop off and pick up times. Source: Parent and Child Magazine
For the last schoolsafety tip, parents should make sure children have backpacks that have sturdy,
padded straps, and are never more than 10% of their body weight, according to
American Occupational Therapy Association, as heavy backpacks can cause
shoulder and back pain.

According to the U.S. Department of
Justice, parking lots are the third most common place where crimes occur with
nearly 1,400 violent crimes committed each day.
The most frequent crime in parking lots is theft or vandalism, but victims are also vulnerable to more violent
crimes such as robbery and assault.
Keep your car in good running condition. Make sure there’s
enough gas to get where you’re going and back.
Have your keys ready before getting into your vehicle.
Check inside and out before getting in the vehicle.
Lock the doors immediately upon entering your vehicle.
Always roll up the windows and lock car doors when leaving
your vehicle, even if you’re coming right back.
Avoid parking in isolated areas.
Be especially alert inparking lots and underground parking garages
Park in well lit areas.
If you think someone is following you home, drive to the
nearest police or fire station, gas station or other open business to get help.
If your vehicle breaks down, call for help on the cell
phone, lock all windows and doors on the vehicle and don’t open the vehicle for
anyone until help arrives.
Never leave your credit cards or other important papers in
the glove compartment.
Never leave any objects in plain view. Lock all valuables
in the trunk and do so before reaching your final destination if at all
possible to avoid observation of any would-be thieves who might take notice.
Do not mark your key chain with your name, address, and
license number. Lost keys can lead a thief to your car or home.
Do not leave your house and car keys together with an
attendant at a public parking lot. Your house key can be quickly duplicated and
your address obtained from your plate number.
Never pick up hitchhikers.
