Hey guys, this is the very first post on my Safety Tips series. Today, I will be talking about some useful tips you definitely need for your everyday life, especially if you are a lone worker. I consider these few tips very useful. Remember, been proactive is better than been reactive. Always endeavor to prevent accidents and incidents from happening than finding a way to recover after they occur.
Tip #1:
Alternate your routes often to avoid stalkers. Don’t be known for utilizing a particular route always. This will make it easy for anyone to track you down.
Tip #2
Alternate your leisure spots. Don’t use same beer palour, clubs, parks and even hotel repeatedly to the extent that you can easily be predicted.
Tip #3
If you are a lone worker or you run errands, e.g. parcel delivery agent, street cleaner, night teacher, ensure to always carry a personal attack alarm and/or pepper spray. Double-check to ensure no one is following you to your car and be conscious of your environment when exiting buildings
Tip #4
In a case of kidnap, scream for help as loud as you can. Use any personal defensive method or maximum force you can muster to escape
Tip #5
Do not wrestle with a thief trying to take your personal belongings like cell phone or wallet. You could get yourself hurt. Remember to always keep your keys, wallets and cell phone in your front/side pockets
Tip #6
Keep a low public profile as much as possible. Do not show off your affluence
Tip #7
Avoid moving around at night if possible. Using public transportation at night is a no no.
Tip #8
If you notice someone tailing or tracing you, do not proceed to your car. Find your way to the nearest populated location where you can call for help.
I hope you find these tips useful. Remember, "there is always time to do it right".
Safety First!
