HOLIDAY SAFETY GRAM 16-05:
Holiday season is here and there are lots of activities
going on which can act as distractions to our work. Taking four seconds for
safety may seem unimportant to you yet it is the one activity you might take
during a busy and distracted day which will have the most benefit in keeping
you safe. Think of it as your Holiday present to yourself. In fact, you can
think of each of those people who would be affected by an injury to you every
time you take four seconds to refocus.
The Safety Flyer can be found at
http://www.stewart.army.mil/info.asp?e=Safety. For more information, call
912-767-6541.
5 WINTER MOTORCYCLE SAFETY TIPS:
(1) Dress for the weather: In cooler months wind chills
can cause damage to your body including frost bite; (2) Check tire pressures
daily: Make sure your tires are inflated to meet the motorcycle manufacturer's
specifications, not what is printed on the tire; (3) Tires need to be warm
before they reach optimal traction: cold weather not only causes low tire
pressure but also makes the carcass (or exterior) of your tire harder; (4)
Store bikes properly: Clean the bike thoroughly, lubricate chain (if it has
one), add a fuel stabilizer, use a trickle charger and if you have the stands,
lift the bike off of the ground; and (5) Prepare for the roads: Roadways take
the brunt of Winter's wrath in the form of sand, leaves, gravel, potholes,
construction, and distracted drivers. Combat these killers by keeping your eyes
far ahead and assume the worst. For more information, contact SSG Pendleton,
II, phone number 912-435-9682.
