National Safety Month–Know How To Swim
Nice to see you again! Join in the discussion!In my final post for National Safety Month, I want to address a favorite summer pastime that should always be fun, namely swimming. What great memories you may have a family vacations to the beach. For me, those memories are some the most precious I have.
Naturally, we want to take to the water when temperatures soar. What better way to cool off! However, it behooves all parents to make sure that their children can swim–and the parents as well. Generational Equity worked with MidwestSportsFans.com and DallasSportsFans.com to do just that. The YMCA provided the expertise so children could learn these vital skills.
Living in the land of 10,000 lakes, enjoying the water is a popular summer activity, whether it be swimming at the lake or boating or water skiing. Too often the news are filled with stories of unnecessary loss. As a reminder for this year’s National Safety Month, equip yourself and your children with the necessary life skill of swimming.
Tech Tip–Play It Safe During National Safety Month
Today’s tech tip is about being safe, safe at home, safe at the workplace. June is National Safety Month. It’s a good time to evaluate your home office to identify potential safety issues.
Take a look at your computer set up.
Lots of dangling cords, loose cords, cords to hardware that you no longer own behind your desk? For ease of cleaning and troubleshooting if an issue arises, organize cords on the back of your computer. Rubber bands or ties work well to tie up longer cords to manageable lengths.
Clean around your computer.
Dust building up around your desk is not only unhealthy, but poses risks for your computer and other hardware. Make it a part of your weekly routine to clean your desk area, especially around your computer. Hair and dust getting trapped in your computer shortens its lifespan. From a sanity perspective, preventing hardware failure is a must.
Keep your hardware plugged into a surge protector.
Storms can pop up any time. Make sure your most valuable piece of equipment, your computer, is protected against sudden power surges that could take out a power supply or a motherboard. Prevention is the best policy.
Home office workers face minimal risks. Taking the extra time to organize your workspace will not only save you time, but it can keep you safe.
