Day Labour Day 2nd We hope that you and your families will have healthy and safe long weekends. Here are some tips to keep in mind over these long weekends: • Allow extra travel time going to and from your destination. Often the roads are busier during these weekends as more people are travelling. Allowing extra travel-time will help reduce stress and reduce your likelihood of a traffic-related accident. • Outdoor events are commonplace during the summer months, especially over long weekends. Make sure to bring some water with you to keep yourself hydrated and reduce the risk of dehydration. See page 6 for tips on staying safe in the summer heat when outdoors. • Long weekends can be an opportunity to catch up on some rest, especially for workers in the arts and entertainment industries who can have long working days. Outside of all planned activities, make some time to relax and rejuvenate to avoid fatigue and burnout. Summer 2019 Edition: Orientation Safety Scene 19
