Join the Mahoning Valley Safety Council for an engaging program on Situational Awareness – Don’t Be a Victim, presented by Tom Miles, ASP, HRCM, CDCA, IRCA, of On Demand Occupational Medicine.

Situational awareness is the ability to identify, process, and understand information about your surroundings so you can stay safe and make informed decisions. In today’s world, potential threats can be physical, digital, or social — and awareness is your first line of defense.

“Don’t Be a Victim” is more than a slogan. It’s a mindset rooted in staying alert, trusting your instincts, recognizing risks before they escalate, and taking proactive steps to avoid becoming an easy target. Whether you’re walking to your car, working late, using public transportation, or navigating unfamiliar areas, strong situational awareness can make all the difference.

By sharpening this skill, you empower yourself to respond effectively, avoid unnecessary risks, and stay safe in a variety of environments.
