Many of us have heard the phrase “safety comes first,” and for good reason. Whether you’re frying donuts at home or fixing something under the hood of your car, a little caution can go a long way. It’s one of those simple rules that applies to almost every situation, yet it’s easy to overlook in everyday life.
Keeping that in mind, we’ve gathered some of the most useful answers to the question: “What is a safety tip everyone should know?” When this was asked online, people shared surprisingly practical and eye-opening advice. So keep scrolling to discover tips that might just come in handy when you least expect it.

When cooking always turn the handles of your pots and pans to the side so that they do not reach over the edge of the stove. You only need to knock a pan with boiling hot oil over once to realise how much easier you live would've been of you looked out for this.

This, and don’t leave the handles over another burner

I don't understand why utensils are hung behind hobs, or why some hobs have the controls behind the burners. That seems bad design to me.

If a support animal comes up to you without a human. Follow them it means a human is down and needs help.
swest211:
I once followed a dog that was very obviously trying to get my attention and wanted me to follow. She would walk a few feet and then turn around and wait for me. I followed her to a dock and fully expected to find a passed or incapacitated person in the water needing help. She picked up the most ridiculously large stick I've ever seen a dog carry and wanted to play fetch. I was mildly annoyed because I followed her quite a ways, happy not to be faced with a person passing away, and delighted that the doggy wanted to play with me all at the same time.

Never get in the car.
1throwawayor3:
It reminds me of this story where these guys were robbing a bank and instructed a young woman to come with them. She said no, and sat down on the ground. They were thrown off by her refusal and left.
I think I remember she said “if you’re going to end me just do it here. My mom won’t have to wonder what happened to me”

I told my kids if someone tried to take them sit on the ground. Also told them that nothing is off limits if someone tried to take them scratch, pinch, bite whatever. Told them adults can get help from adults. That one came from the time a guy tried to get me and a cousin to get closer to his car to give him directions. I wouldn't let cousin get closer. We were not harmed but it stuck
It only takes a split second for things to go wrong: a small oversight, a missed warning, or a moment of distraction. That’s why “safety comes first” isn’t just a phrase we hear growing up; it’s something that quietly protects us in ways we often don’t even notice. Whether you’re frying donuts at home, fixing something under your car, or simply going about your day at work, safety plays a bigger role than we give it credit for.
When we think about workplace safety, certain industries immediately come to mind: construction, manufacturing, oil and gas, healthcare, and laboratory work. These fields have strict safety protocols for a reason. But what’s interesting is that even professions that seem harmless on the surface can come with their own set of risks. Sometimes, the most overlooked jobs carry hidden dangers people rarely talk about.

In kitchen fires: NEVER pour water on burning oil fires, the water is heavier than the oil, it will sink to the bottom and immediately explode into steam when it hit the hot metal bottom, spewing the boiling oil all over the kitchen.
Instead suffocate the flame by covering the pot or pan, preferably with a lid, but a damp towel can also work in a pinch.
BobVilla287491543584:
Either that or pour baking soda on it of there is not a fire extinguisher handy.
ABC dry chem fire extinguishers are worth their weight in gold if there is a fire. It'll make a mess, but it can be vacuumed up.
Source: Fire academy
To clarify, since I guess it needs to be stated: the baking soda needs to still be a powder. If it is a solid congealed mass, probably don't huck that into a grease fire.

Clean the lint out of your dryer, if you don't, it will set your house on fire.
anonymous:
We have to have the tubey bit that's supposed to take the lint the dryer's lint trap doesn't catch cleaned out professionally a few times a year. Our house was designed by drunken monkeys and so the tubey bit is impossible to access from pretty much anywhere but the roof.

(things I learned in self defense and survival classes)
• If possible don't ever fight against a knife you WILL get cut and probably will lose
• Learn to make a fire through primitive means
• Never eat a wild plant without seeing an expert doing it first (even if you have a book or other aid)
• Panicking is the leading cause of death in an emergency, just remember "Stay calm, you can figure this out".
x0x_Poet_x0x:
If you absolutely have to engage with a knife-wielding opponent, wrap something, anything that's available around one forearm and use it to deflect the blade. Try to gain leverage on your opponent's wrist and break their grip at its weakest point (the thumb).
With that in mind, we spoke to Amey Pirankar, a content creator and artist, to understand safety from a completely different perspective. When asked whether there are safety concerns in his field, Amey didn’t hesitate. “People assume artists don’t really have safety risks,” he says, “but that’s not true at all. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes that people don’t realize.”

Always keep track of where the exit is.
noxinboxes:
Whenever I fly, I count how many rows there are between me and the exits in front and behind. I doubt I would remember the information in case of emergency but it makes me feel good to be on top of things
Jerico_Hill:
I learned this after watching the station nightclub fire video. That will stay with me for the rest of my life.
Warning to the curious, I've seen so much stuff on the internet, I roamed through rotten.com as a teenager. That video is by far and away the most disturbing thing I've ever witnessed. That said, I'll always make a note of all fire exits no matter where I am.

Something I recently learned , don't take off at an intersection the moment the light turns green, just incase someone's about to run a red light.
avp1994:
As a Zambian this is especially true. There will ALWAYS be that one guy that will try to "squeeze in" after their light turns red.

Mainly if you're somewhere you dont know, keep £20 under your foot in your sock. If you are ever mugged/ attacked, you can use it for a taxi to somewhere safe.
Also if your lost ask the postman if they're about, should know every road in a lot of detail.
He begins with a simple but eye-opening example: “If you look at the back of crayon boxes, they always come with safety warnings. Materials we consider harmless can actually be risky, especially around children. Kids tend to put things in their mouths, and even small objects or art supplies can become dangerous if swallowed.”
And this isn’t just a rare occurrence. Studies show that young children frequently put objects in their mouths, which can sometimes lead to serious situations. Researchers analyzing data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission found that between 1995 and 2015, more than 755,000 children under the age of six were taken to emergency rooms after swallowing objects—that’s an average of 99 cases every single day. Over those 20 years, the rate nearly doubled, rising from 9.5 cases per 10,000 children in 1995 to 18 cases per 10,000 in 2015. The findings highlight just how common these incidents are, reinforcing why even everyday items need clear safety warnings and careful supervision when children are around.

When there's a passing in your family, do not leave the person's home and belongings unattended during the funeral, especially if it's been posted in the paper. My family experienced two robberies during funerals before we learned our lesson, my aunt's jewelry was never recovered.
I know it seems like something out of a bad movie, but it's happened more than a few times in the real world. Now we always ask someone to sit at the house while the funeral is taking place and I've sat for friends while they buried their loved ones too.
-Shneezycat-:
My husbands nan and grandads house was in a bad fire where they had to move out. This was in the paper stating the road it was on. They had two robberies. Jewellery presents grandchildren money all gone they threw the dogs ashes everywhere. They weren't allowed to collect these items due to the house being unsafe. Second robbery was stealing copper or some kind of expensive material. Be careful guys
#11
Don't mix ammonia and bleach, it makes a dangerous gas like mustard gas.
clancey6:
Neither mix bleach and rubbing alcohol, it makes chloroform or bleach and vinegar which makes chlorine gas!
These 2 and the ammonia and bleach are the more commonly mixed fatalities with bleach!

If you get a flat on the highway, pull way off the road to change it. If possible, get away from traffic altogether--pull into a parking lot or driveway. About once a month, a driver in the US gets run over and ended while changing a flat tire.
Driving (slowly) on a flat tire isn't especially dangerous. It might bend your rim, which is bad, but nobody ever passed of a bent rim.
anonymous:
You can also pull into the grass to avoid bending the rim.
MonsterMum 26 minutes ago
I had a tyre blow out in the middle of an S bend. The road was rural so 60mph speed limit. I put my warning triangle out to warn oncoming drivers and it was 'k****d' within minutes. The recovery truck came and said it was too dangerous to change the tire and lifted my car. It was quite scary
Moving deeper into his work, Amey explains, “As artists, we constantly work with paints and pigments. It’s important to choose quality materials, especially if you’re using them daily. Some pigments contain heavy metals like lead, cadmium, or cobalt, and long-term exposure to these can affect your health without you even realizing it at first.”
#13
When you stop to wait in a turning lane where you have to cross oncoming traffic, keep your wheels straight. If you get hit from behind and have your wheels turned in, you'll get shoved/steered into the oncoming-traffic lane. If they're pointing straight ahead, you'll just go forward.
MonsterMum 22 minutes ago
Also, if you have to stop due to an accident in the immediate road ahead and you get out to help casualties, turn your wheels so if you get hit, the car does not get shunted in the area you are in

Never mess with your garage door spring. Call a professional.
chemist612:
They have a lot of tension, as garage doors are really heavy. Their purpose is to make the garage door respond like it is weightless, easily lifting and closing. To work on them you have to displace that tension somewhere else while you work on the door or rails or whatever. This involves a specialty tool that fits into some slots near the springs. Using an improvised tool leaves room for it to come loose and now you have a free spinning spring. There are many things that can happen, including the spring flying apart as it spins. The most likely is that the improvised tool gets flung and either slices through whatever is nearby (including you) or it gets launched with enough force to chip concrete. Either way you don't want to be around when that happens.
papaskank:
After being hit in the face by a spring from an old bush hog I will never deal with springs by myself. That thing barely took out one of my eyes and all we did was move it.
ToBlayyyve:
I was chatting with the garage door repair guy about the springs. He told me a story about a guy he knew and lets just say he lost a chunk of his skull when the spring got away from him.

If a fire starts in your house and gets out of control, try and isolate that room by shutting doors and windows to it if you can. Modern houses burn incredibly fast, but cutting off the supply of new oxygen slows it down a bit and gives you more time to escape.
iNoScopedJFK101:
but then once the door gets opened won't the oxygen rush in and create an "explosion" idk how true that is but i heard it before
uncertain_expert:
The firefighters have techniques to avoid this - one is a small diameter high-pressure nozzle that they can use to almost ‘inject’ water into a room whilst keeping doors closed.
He also sheds light on solvents commonly used in art: “Things like turpentine, mineral spirits, and acetone might feel like basic tools, but they’re not harmless. Spending time around the fumes or getting them on your skin can leave you dizzy, irritated, and even cause long-term health problems if you’re not careful. It’s easy to forget how strong these chemicals are when you’re focused on creating, but a little caution goes a long way.”
#16
Never put your feet up on the dashboard in the car (pasenger seat) because if the airbag opens you will break both of your legs and launch you knees at 300 mph into your face.
TechToTrail:
Don't ride with the seat back down either. Seatbelts are not made to hold you in place in a horizontal position.
and for God's sake stop sticking limbs out the windows. It only takes a moment for someone to sideswipe you and you've lost an appendage. I cringe when I see dogs hanging out windows.
#17
Babies cannot ever have honey. It will end them in an awful way. Honey contains Clostridium botulinum which young humans do not have a resistance to. Adults can fight it off but infants can not.
#18
If you have a gas stove that requires matches or a lighter to light it (I.e. it doesn't have an automatic spark) always light the flame before turning on the gas. This way you hopefully won't blow yourself up if more gas has been let out than you realised.
“Then there’s resin,” he adds. “It’s become incredibly popular lately; people use it to make jewelry, home decor, and all kinds of creative pieces. But working with resin isn’t risk-free. The chemicals involved can trigger strong skin reactions and even breathing problems if used without proper precautions.”
#19
Don’t ever go home if you know you are being followed. Go to the nearest police station if you can find it.
John Dilligaf 6 hours ago
to be specific --- go to the nearest *manned* police station. Some stations aren't opened or manned 24/7. I just recently found out that the local cop shop in my town is one of them. This is in a town of over 40,000 people.
#20
If you ever need to call 911 give the address or location first in case you are disconnected
If you’re kidnapped and put into the trunk/boot of a car, feel around everywhere you can to try and find the ‘emergency trunk latch’, most cars have those nowadays! Another tactic is to try and kick the tail light out from the inside. If you can break through the tail light stick your hand through and wave at the people behind you.
If another car is driving erratically, give them as much space as you can. You can’t control other drivers but you can control yourself.
Don't touch knives to test their sharpness.
indigofoxgivesnofox:
Emergency dispatcher here, this is good advice. To add to it, if you are unable to give the address or it's unsafe for you to speak directly into the phone (or signals attacker you are calling) then PLEASE keep an open line and do what you can to indicate you have an emergency. It can be yelling out what they are doing, telling them no, saying calmly what's going on, just something that clues us your call is not just a pocket dial. The longer you stay on the line, the better chance we have of getting an accurate location -- as long as you are near enough cell towers, we can usually get a location of your phone, even if it's off a hundred meters or so. I will always make a call if my gut tells me something is wrong, so help us help you.

"Don't touch knives to test their sharpness". And I can add don't test cut a newspaper on your lap. Luckily it was superficial as It only scratched across my skin. In my defence I was only 10 (ish) and lordy was I dumb... :-)

Always pee after being intimate.
PauseAndReflect:
It can help you prevent getting a urinary tract infection.
MonsterMum 24 minutes ago
I have often heard that women must pee after or they WILL get a uti. I must be lucky, because I often just fall asleep and am fine.
Beyond chemicals, there’s also the physical toll. “Art doesn’t always look physically demanding,” Amey says, “but it can be. Spending hours drawing, sculpting, or working on a computer can lead to stiffness, back pain, and repetitive strain injuries. It’s something you only really notice after doing it day in and day out.”
#22
If a gator bites you, clog its nostrils with your thumbs. It will need to open its mouth to breathe. When its mouth opens, get out of its mouth and run.

Make an emergency go bag for everywhere you frequent (use car, work, home). Make sure to update it regularly for fresher food and water in case of natural disasters.
Twirlingbarbie:
Yeah emergency bag and always have an extra blanket in the car in case you have to spend the night in your car

Steel toed shoes have saved me countless times.
Norm Gilmore 4 hours ago
I wear my work steel caps when mowing the lawn. I feel sick when I see people just wearing jandals (that's flip-flops or thongs, outside of NZ). I know a man who (stupidly) was giving his young grandson rides on a ride on mower when the kid decided he was going to get off. Lost half of one foot.
When asked about safety tips, Amey keeps it refreshingly simple and practical. He emphasizes the importance of working in well-ventilated spaces, especially when handling paints, solvents, or any strong-smelling materials that can irritate your lungs. He also stresses the value of basic protective gear (gloves, masks, even aprons) whenever there’s a chance of skin contact or inhaling fumes. And whenever possible, he suggests swapping out toxic chemicals for safer, less harmful alternatives. These steps might seem small or even obvious at first glance, but Amey points out that consistent care over time protects not just your health, but your ability to keep creating freely and safely for years to come.

If you do something on your (or someone elses) electric, don't just trust on a switched off circuit breaker. They can fail, or the wiring can be done wrong. There might be a one in hundred chance of this actually happening, but you shouldn't put your life on this chance. Simple phase checkers are cheap and using them takes a few seconds.
Cali9t7:
No, no, no. If you are not a licensed electrician, don't put your life at risk, because 9/10 times that guy on YouTube won't be able to tell you how your house is wired. You pay a professional because they know the risks/controls.
Here's a small list of things that can go wrong if you mess with your own electrics:
-Electrical shock from direct contact with exposed conductors
-Electrical shock from indirect contact
-Electrocution
-Fire
-Damage to property
You never know what person has messed with your electrical system before you. Those simple phase checkers are called Death Sticks in our trade. Never, ever rely on them. They are cheap for a reason.
If you really, truly don't want to pay a professional and are adamant on doing it yourself, turn the power off to the whole house. Crossed neutrals, damaged cabling and poor connections will end you.
Source: am electrician.
Rick Murray 58 minutes ago
Multimeters exist... Far more useful than a glowing screwdriver. But, yes, safest way is to pull The Big Switch. You can do all the work prior to cutting the power, then turn everything off for the time when you're hooking that into the electrics. So your freezer will be fine. I added some sockets to the living room and only needed the power off for the short time it took to fit a 16A breaker and wire into it (16A: a normal ~3.6kW circuit at 230V; wiring specified to handle such a load (although the most it's every actually going to deal with is 2.2kW - a heater and some computer equipment).

It’s smart to always know another route to reach your destination.
Peterthemonster:
This. I know the way from and to most places with many alternate routes. One time I was being followed home by a car. I had a gut feeling and tested taking a senseless route (like taking a very complicated and intricate route into many streets instead of just taking the main avenue) and the car kept following me. At that point I knew that I had to stay away from my home as much as possible, so I drove in an opposite direction and reached the nearest police station. I parked outside and the car raced away.
Rick Murray 55 minutes ago
I was followed once. My car is speed limited to 30mph so anybody that isn't trying to get around me is a bit sus. So I drove home, kept on going, led them on a magical mystery tour of French rural back roads. When I turned towards the village for the second time, they realised that they were rumbled so they drove the other way. No idea who or why, never seen the car again. It helps to keep an eye on your rear view mirror for anything that seems a bit off.a

CPR and heimlich maneuver saves lives
learn them.
decearing-eggz:
This is so true. My dad actually saved a life because he knew the Heimlich. We were in Disneyland Paris and this man was choking on his food and me and my stepbrother were coming back from getting dinner and my stepmom kinda brought us back for more food and brought us back once it was clear which is when we were told the story. The guy was there with his 5 year old, 8 year old and his wife. We were brought away because it would’ve scared us despite us being 15 and 17. The two kids were crying their eyes out and looked just so distraught
Just like Amey’s advice is simple yet practical, the safety tips in this post are just as useful in everyday life. They cover everything from protecting your hearing to staying alert around potential scams. Sometimes, it’s the small habits that make the biggest difference. Which of these tips stood out to you the most? Share them with your friends and family—you never know who might need that one piece of advice.

For anyone caught in a rip dont panic go with the flow if your being dragged out. If you can swim sideways not toward shore as this is the fastest way to become exhausted. If multiple people are caught with you in the rip and help arrives always tell them who is the weakest swimmer this can save their life from drowning.
Adastra1018:
Also, learn what a rip tide looks like and avoid them. A lot of swimmers go straight for them as it looks like the calmest part of the water and then they're in trouble.
Chris Lawson 9 minutes ago
If you don’t know how to swim, never swim at a beach in Australia. Dozens of non-Australians die yearly from drowning at our beaches. (And don’t say they could swim between the flags because I really don’t want our volunteer SLSs risking their lives for these morons who shouldn’t be in the water)
#29
Always assume a firearm is loaded, even if you check and its not. This means always point the barrel in a safe direction, and only point it at things you would be willing to shoot on the off chance it goes off. And always, ALWAYS keep you finger off the trigger till you're ready to shoot, again even if you know its not loaded. My mother had a high-school friend who accidentally hit himself while cleaning his pistol, he would probably still be alive if he followed these rules.
#30
The signs of a stroke:
F.A.S.T
F-face, one side of the persons face is drooping
A-arms, ask the person to hold their arms up, if one is drooping, it’s a stroke
S- speech, the person slurrs their words as if they’re drunk when asked to repeat a phrase
T- time. Mark the time the symptoms started and get to an ER ASAP.

Idk if counts as a safety tip but anyways, if the dog is agressive without reason do not be scared of him, be scared of the owner.

A falling knife has no handle.

Same with falling soldering irons. Ask me how I know...
jodyze:
I work in the meat departement of a grocery store, 3 of my coworkers got cut that way. Thankfully not deep and even more thankfully the wound didnt infect from chicken/beef bacterias
But yeah, if you drop a knife, take a full step back like of you just touched a stovetop. Your feet will be safer that way
#33
Alot of internet self defence classes are wrong or are mis-informing at best. Please seek professionals or people with actual training
Never bunch ya keys in ya hand, more likely to damage your hands. The bottom of a closed fist in a throat is a much better avenue. Or nails.
If ya can help it NEVER LET THEM PUT CABLE TIES ON YOU! While a lot of classes claim to teach you to break out of them I can assure you you wont break out of even basic construction ties you can get most places.
Go for the throat and the eyes and the balls if they're a man and run and make NOISE. Dont worry about hurting them. Put them out proper if you have to.
Keep your chin tucked in if your in a chokehold but also clench your jaw and push your tongue to your teeth. Helps stop your jaw breaking or moving away.
If your country let's you, carry mace in a pocket or a bra. Dont keep it in a bag if ya can help it.

Nothing is off limits if your being attacked. For girls who can't fight well a lighter. If their busy putting themselves out you can leave. Also look at what is around you. Dirt, rocks, glass all help. If your hitting throat , testicles, knee to the head in that order. Most guys think you will go for the groîn first.

Sharpen your knives. Dull knives are so much more dangerous than sharp ones.
CarrotCumin:
Unfortunately, this doesn't always track. Most people are very used to using dull knives and as a result have never learned proper knife technique, so they do things like cutting in or towards their hand, expecting to be able to safely touch the edge. I have been told by bloody-handed friends that I keep my knives too sharp-they've never cut themselves on their knives at home, but they do when they use my knives..
For some reason people get a little testy when I warn them about their bad knife technique. Then when they cut themselves it's suddenly the knifes fault.
#36
Lock your car doors as soon as you get in the vehicle.
Peterthemonster:
And always look inside before entering your car. An acquaintance told me a story of how she got into her car and drove to the gas station. In my country there are clerks(?) that do everything for you and charge you without you leaving your vehicle. She wanted to pay with a credit card and the person told them that the card was rejected but maybe going inside the store could help. The clerk called one of his colleagues and brought her into the store. Then they asked her if she new the man hiding in the back of her car. Apparently someone sneaked into it and she hadn't noticed. The guy ran away before they could do anything about it. If she hadn't stopped for gas or if the clerk hadn't had a gut feeling, something terrible would've happened to her.

If there is starting to get traffic jam on the high road, get in the line where the trucks aren't driving as soon as possible. If a truck driver doesn't see the traffic jam and you are between two trucks, there is a very small chance you'll survive. If a car driver doesn't see the traffic jam, the chance to survive is greater.
#41
Be kind to your ears... Wear hearing protection whenever you're spending time in a loud environment. Note that tge acceptable time without protection goes down the louder it is. In the US, a worker can spend about 8 hours at 85 dB. For a rock concert, power tools, etc, you're better off using hearing protection right from the start, and every time. Hearing damage is sort of a one way street. I just keep a little container with earplugs on my keyring so I don't get caught somewhere without them.

Always have a whistle on your jacket when skiing/ hiking etc. especially in the mountains. Your voice won’t travel over a ridge if you are stuck or lost but a whistle sound will travel a substantially further distance.
