It was safety first for the UF Public Health Student Association during National Public Health Week, held April 4-10. The students planned a week of activities, including displays, guest speakers and informational handouts on safety at home, work, play, on the go and in the community as part of the national theme “Safety is No Accident: Live Injury Free.” The students educated the public on everything from the proper storage of household cleaners to the hidden hazards of microwave cooking and Florida bike laws.
