Risk Management
Did You Know?
The best way in is not always the best way out.  Sometimes safety is about quickly getting away from an unsafe situation.  That is why it pays to know your exits.
 
Chances are you're aware of the exists from your home and workplace.  But what about the stores where you shop, the public buildings you enter, the venues you take your family to, or the hotels where you stay?
 
Get in the habit of always locating the emergency exit wherever you are.  If you know exactly where to go, you'll get there a lot quicker.
