 Labor Day weekend marks the unofficial end of summer. Across the fleet, sailors will be heading to beaches or backyard barbecues to celebrate. As the holiday approaches, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure you stay vigilant and safe. When cooking on the grill, it's important to wear appropriate clothing and check tanks and houses for leaks. Keep children and pets away from the area. Propane and charcoal grows should only be used outdoors, away from homes, deck railings and low-hanging trees. If you are driving to see your family or heading off on a vacation, make sure you plan accordingly to avoid delays. Always wear a seatbelt and avoid driving while tired. Remember, stay in mind for weather conditions throughout your trip. Let's continue to have a safe, fun summer. For more summer and Labor Day safety tips, visit the Navy Safety Center website.
