 Hello, this is Demetrius Romp, the Director of Safety and Risk Management for the City of Columbia. I'm here to talk about your monthly safety message for the City of Columbia employees and the public. Today I will be talking about Back to School Safety, which is the August Safety Tip for 2019. Walkers. For those children who walk to school, walk on the sidewalk. If a sidewalk is not available on the street, make sure you walk facing the traffic. When you attempt to cross the street, all children should make sure they look to their left, to their right, and back to their left again to make sure no cars are coming. If you're going to be riding your bike to school, parents, I suggest that you travel and ride that bike route with that child to school so they can get familiar with it. Also too, if you have to cross an intersection, do not ride your bike across the intersection. When you come to the intersection, get off the bike and walk the bike across. It's for your safety. For those of you who will be riding a school bus, go to that school bus stop and make sure you're very familiar with that school bus stop. Parents and make sure you go there with that child. Also while you're there, teach that child how to get on and off the bus. It is recommended if they're waiting on the bus that they stand six feet away from the curb or three giant steps. And for those parents who will be taking their kids as a car rider, make sure you know the drop off point at that particular school. Make sure you obey the school zones and avoid distracted driving. Remember our kids are our most precious cargo. So going back to school for the 2019 year, make sure you be safe and have fun. Remember safety starts with an S, but it begins with you. Thank you.
