“May the 4th Be With You”: Safety is strength
Today is our “May the 4th Be With You” day, a reminder that safety is a force of strength and resilience. We keep each other safe by noticing risks early, speaking up, and using the tools we already have.
7 Safety Riddles:
- I’m not a prize, but I’m the gold ribbon that starts the story when something goes wrong. Find me on the home page when you log in, then choose me “on demand.”
- I’m a library with rules that can change. I’m not on a shelf, but I hold the “official” versions.
- I’m not social media, but I’m posted where teams walk by. I help you remember safety without logging in.
- I’m not a relay race, but I have parts. You start me, then you pass me along so others finish their piece.
- I’m a “recipe card” for chemicals. I live both in binders and online.
- I’m free, I’m fast, and I stop invisible hitchhikers. Do me well for about 20–30 seconds to avoid danger.
- I’m not an alarm, but I’m a quiet signal that someone’s status matters for safe care.
How to play:
Solve them as a team. We’ll post the answers tomorrow, and share why each one matters.
