I may be behind the 8 ball (so to speak) with this post BUT it never hurts to fail safely.
We were involved in a seminar this weekend on "METH-LABS and Other Home Hazards", it was very informative and enlightening. Many issues and items were covered and we gained a very healthy respect for the side effects of exposure and most assuredly the drastic affects on life and aging. WOW, what an eye-opener. I still do not think I have had the experiece of doing an inspection on one of these METH houses but I will now be more alert as I gain entry to homes.
One thing that was covered that I had not heard of before was entering a number into your mobile phone with the contact being the person you would most want to alert in case of an emergency. The name in the phone log would be titled ICE (in case of emergency). As I understand the First Reponders are taught to look for this name in the phone should the victim be incapacitated.
If this notification alerts and saves even one person it will be worth the time of posting. We all have to be our own safety manager. I have turned to using the bluetooth feature on my cell phone so that if I am unable to get out of a spot or get into a situation, unable to help myself, I can just push the button and say "911", or "emergency" or "help". You can put whatever number you desire and they can be different for different situations. As long as you have cell service and you have one hand free you are never too far away from help.
Be Safe out there
Blessings on you all
