Keep checking alerts when traveling! Keep lots of extra water and food on hand in case you get stuck somewhere.

Always check yourself, so you don't wreck yourself! Check your PPE daily. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is a worker’s LAST defence against injury and death, when eliminating... workplace hazards is not possible. To make sure this equipment protects you as it should, you need to know your PPE responsibilities under the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. NSNY has hard copies available for $47.00, or go online and download them for free! #safety #checkyourgear #knowyourrights #checkyourself #yukon #safety1st

Scammers are at it today! As always, be cautious when giving out personal information on the phone. Simple tips on preventing phone scams: If you get a call saying you’re a winner don’t pay any money to collect supposed sweepstakes winnings. Legitimate operations won’t require you to pay to collect your winnings.... It’s against federal law to play a foreign lottery so if you get a call it is likely a scam. Never wire money to anyone with whom you are not familiar. Never provide anyone with personal information such as bank accounts, pin numbers or Social Security numbers. Check any unfamiliar area codes before returning calls. Be aware that there are many 3-digit area codes that connect callers to international telephone numbers especially 876. If you do not have Caller ID, consider adding it to your phone service. Caller ID allows you to add a Call Intercept feature that screens calls and offers the option to reject suspicious international calls. #yukon #scammers #protectyourself

Bear Safety is extremely important, especially in the Yukon! We are a wilderness city. Remember these important tips: Stay alert. Keep an eye out for bears so you can give them plenty of room. Look for recent bear sign such as tracks, scats, fresh diggings or tree scratches (If you see any of these, be especially cautious).... Choose routes with good visibility where possible. Travel in groups. Make noise to let bears know you’re coming, especially in thick brush, berry patches or near running water. Loud talking or singing is better than using bells. Don’t approach a bear for a closer look or better photo. Use binoculars or a telephoto lens. (Like this guy in the picture)

Sun safety doesnt end with humans, our furry friends need it too! Please don't leave your animals in a hot vehicle. See below for the signs of dehydration. Have fun and be safe this coming weekend! #sunsafety #pets #animalslovers

More risk of fire! Everyone be on the lookout for any fires, and be sure to report them immediately by calling the fire station, or 911.
