Practice Water Safety
It is hot outside and the water is a great way to cool off. Unfortunately, water accidents are common during Labor Day. You can take steps to keep you and your family safe by practicing water safety, including swimming pool safety and boating safety.
Swimming Pool Safety
You should practice swimming pool safety year-round. Water is dangerous for people of all ages. Swimming pool safety includes the following:
- Secure your pool. A secure pool is one that has multiple barriers. Consult the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission’s pool barrier
- Only swim to your ability. Ensure every member of your family achieves skills of water competency.
- Swim sober. Avoid alcohol and drugs while swimming.
- Do not swim alone. Never leave a child alone around water.
- Never assume someone else is watching your child. Always designate an adult to watch children around the pool or hot tub.
- Only dive in a safe diving area. Do not enter headfirst unless the pool has a safe diving area.

Labor Day is a popular weekend to get out on two and four wheels. If you are venturing out this holiday, ride responsibly with the following safety tips for different forms of transportation.
ATV Safety Tips
ATV stands for “all-terrain vehicle.” An ATV is a type of “off-highway vehicle.” Are you planning on riding an ATV today? Before you go out review the following CPSC ATV safety tips:
- Stay off paved roads. ATVs are designed for off-road terrain. Driving on paved roads is dangerous and increases the risk of a collision with cars and trucks.

- Check the number of passengers for the ATV. Do not allow more people on the vehicle than it was designed to carry.
- Always wear a helmet. In addition to a helmet, riders should wear goggles, gloves, long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and over-the-ankle boots.
- Get hands-on training. Before you go out, you should take a hands-on ATV safety course from a qualified instructor.
