STS Highlights February 2021

STS Highlights: February 2021

I associate the month of February with two very important topics for annual training. Black History Month provides opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history. It is a great time to discuss diversity, communication, tolerance, and respect. Valentine’s Day also provides a great marker for your annual discussions surrounding sexual harassment awareness and related training.

All the best,
Patrick

STS Highlights December 2020

STS Highlights: December 2020

Be safe during the upcoming travel and holiday season. Continue to take basic steps to prevent illness by washing your hands often, avoiding close contact, staying home if sick, covering coughs and sneezes, wearing a facemask, monitoring your health daily, and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces (CDC.gov).

The winter holiday season can be very busy and exciting, but PLEASE remember to be aware of your surroundings while driving and safely share the road with pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcycles, school buses, and other automobiles.

We hope this month’s selections provide timely reminders for driving and give you some inspiration as we approach the end of the year. Please utilize them as much as possible. We look forward to an exciting new year!

Grateful,
Patrick
