Think Safety - First, Labels & Directions is a book calling for Standardized Safety LABELING of products found in and around the home and garage. From Poison Control Center Data, there is evidence that more than one million people are accidentally poisoned annually, including hundreds of thousands of children. Adults and the children under their care are in danger from chemicals for cleaning and other purposes that are being misused. There is a great need for Standardized Safety LABELING with Consistent Formatting, Concise Statements, Easily Understood Wording, and Clear Directions. This important information is presented in this book. It is then up to YOU. What are YOU going to do?

It's a book with 'Occupational Health & Safety' in mind. It's a philosophy using drawings and/ or words to teach people about staying safe, no matter what their age or educational background. You don't have to be a poet or writer to write safety messags; same as you don't need to be an artist of world renown to draw the pictures; you don't even need to be politically correct in what you say, although saying that, if you carry something too far then it goes into the category of discrimination. None of these three things save peoples lives, but people do and that is why it is so important to educate people of all ages about staying safe. It's a philosophy that can be tailor made for young or old. It's an easy concept, yet it has not been done quite like this before. Having spoken to health professionals about this project, they have been amazed and over whelmed by this project and the simplicity of it and even one health professional asked, "Why he had never thought of it before and then he wished that he had thought of this concept." So browse the pages, get some ideas and start being safe, because the life that you save may not be your own, but rather of someone in your family, friend or workmate. Lessen the odds...Reduce the risk...Be safe.

It would take only one unthinkable event to disrupt your way of life. A terrorist attack, a global pandemic, or sharp currency devaluation, and you would be forced to fend for yourself in ways you've never dreamed of. By the end of this book, you won't have a headful of useless information that you'll soon forget, but rather, dozens of new and practical urban-survival skills that will be hard-wired into your brain. Survival is more than just creating a solar still and rubbing sticks together. It is about using your knowledge base to improvise and become a tactical thinker. Of course this book will cover the basics, such as food and water storage, but it will also teach you black-market bartering techniques, hand-to-hand combat, weapons of choice, how to survive during a riot, and how to become a "stunt-double" driver if being followed or in the event of an attempted carjacking. It will also discuss developmental psychology in relation to coping with a disaster, veterinary antibiotics that can be used in place of human antibiotics during a crisis, protecting against nuclear fallout, as well as emergency heating, cooking, lighting, power, and much more. I promise a good kick in the pants as a wake-up call to all those that are still in dreamland that are not yet driven to prepare. I hope that after reading this book you will become a survival warrior, willing to stop at nothing in order for you and your family to survive
