Don't Walk and Text (WPE09)


Description
Technology is great. We have the world literally at our fingertips: we can research, play games, work, and keep in touch with our friends and colleagues. All this on devices that fit in the palm of our hands. But, for all its brilliance, technology still poses some dangers.

Being addicted to our tech means it’s easy to get distracted and attempt to multitask. Some times that’s successful, but other times we might take unnecessary risks, putting ourselves and others in danger. Texting while walking may not seem like a big deal, but it regularly causes accidents that could have easily been avoided.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Understand why walking and texting is a dangerous behavior
• Identify how small actions can lead to serious consequences
• Take steps to avoid risks

Why take this course?

When you’re busy, it’s tempting to try to do things “on the go” to save time for those bigger daily tasks. Regardless of your role and whether you’re in or outside of the workplace, it’s worth sparing some time to think about those little actions that can be risky, like texting while walking. This course will help you identify the risks and the steps you can take to avoid them.
