Did you know that emails sent at work could be grounds for termination or create legal problems? It is essential you take precautions when using email, to protect your job and company.

-   Avoid jokes and sarcasm in an email. You may unintentionally offend someone or a recipient may misread your tone. Instead, be professional and clear.

-   Remember that emails are permanent and you do not own your email - your company does. Do not send anything in an email that is inappropriate. The company may monitor your email and may use it as grounds for discipline, if appropriate.    Always proofread your email and double check recipients and attachments before sending.

-   Use care when using "Reply All." Do all of the recipients need the information you are sending? Should all recipients be privy to the information?

-   Consider using the phone or face-to-face conversations for sensitive or complex information.

-   Do not send an email in anger. Give yourself time to cool down from the situation. You cannot "unsend" an email!

June is Home Safety Month and it's the perfect time for you to make sure your home is as safe as possible for you and your family. The Home Safety Council provides the following tips to help you avoid various hazards in your home:

·   Put a non-slip mat in your shower.

·   Keep stairs clear of clutter and ensure proper lighting at the top and bottom. Use safety gates if you have young children.

·   Make sure you have sturdy handrails on all stairs (indoors and outdoors).

·   Wipe up spills when they happen.

·   Keep the Poison Control phone number (1-800-222-1222) by each telephone and programmed into your cell phone.

·   Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and regularly check the batteries.

·   Read labels of all products you use in your home. Any that say "caution," "warning" or something similar should be stored away from children, either locked up or on a high shelf.

·   Keep all medications out of reach of children. Make sure they are not in purses, pockets or drawers where children could easily access.

·   Keep original label on all medication and cleaning supplies.

·   Always stay by the stove or grill when cooking.

·   Keep grills at least 10 feet away from your house, garage and any trees or bushes. Keep children and pets away.

·   Only light candles when an adult is in the room, and never leave candles burning unattended.

·   Have a fire escape plan and hold a fire drill with your family. Make sure all adults in the house know how and when to use a fire extinguisher.

·   If you have a pool or hot tub, install a fence around it.

·   Always watch children carefully when in the bathtub or pool, even small, child-sized pools.
