Top 6 Safety Tips for Enjoying your Summer

April 9, 2020 by Jarred

Summer is just around the corner and it is the perfect time to have some fun in the sun, but you need to make sure to do it safely. And if you have been injured, speak with a Philadelphia personal injury lawyer to learn your options.

Use Sunscreen

Of course, you will probably be spending a lot of time outdoors during the summer months. Whenever you are out in the sun, you must protect your skin by using sunscreen! This means applying sunscreen to ALL areas of the skin that are exposed to the sun.

 

The key to sunscreen working is an effective application. Wait to get in the water at least 20 minutes after applying sunscreen so that it soaks in. Also, there are bathing suits and clothing options that offer special protection from the sun. And when outdoors, don’t forget to apply sunscreen to your face and wear sunglasses and a hat for the most protection against the sun.

 

Wear Protective Gear

Summer is also a prime time to go on bike rides or rollerblading. This is especially true for kids. Before hitting the road, always wear the necessary protective equipment such as helmets and knee pads to prevent a serious personal injury.

 

Be Safe Near Water

Whether you are hanging by a pool, lake, or ocean, you need to be safe around the water.

 

Children should have constant supervision whenever around water to prevent drownings. Wearing proper flotation devices is also a good habit to get into.

 

Never run around the pool in case of a slippery surface that could cause a personal injury. It is also smart to never mix alcohol and swimming.

 

Hydrate!

Since you will be spending more time in the sun and the summer months bring more heat and humidity, you need to stay hydrated! Especially if you are going to be spending your days swimming or hiking, always have plenty of water on hand. You should also consider drinking electrolytes since you will be sweating more during the summer.

 

To help stay on track, keep a chart to keep track of when it is time to drink to make sure you are always drinking plenty of water throughout the day!

 

Be Careful on the Road

Summer is a busy time for road trips and that means more cars on the road. Plus, there are plenty of new visitors driving around who are visiting.

 

Like always, follow all traffic laws and be extra cautious when driving long road trips or across the country. Before taking on your journey, make sure to check your car to ensure it is in good shape.

 

Be Smart

Have fun during the summer, but be smart! For parents, make sure you are choosing wise activities for your children. Some activities are more dangerous than others. Never leave children unattended when using equipment such as trampolines or water slides.

 

The only way to really do your part to stay safe during the summer months is to be prepared and be smart!
