The Church has just provided a new section of LDS.org about Safety and Health at safety.lds.org.

The site includes the following sections:

• Safety in Church Activities. The First Presidency lists safety guidelines for planning Church activities.
• Activities—Policies and Guidelines. Activities should include appropriate training and proper supervision.
• Fact Sheets. A collection of Church guidelines related to safety.
• Training and Video Resources. Visit the Safety and Health Media Library to find helpful resources to reinforce safety.
• Resources and Forms. A collection of online tools to plan and conduct safe activities. Includes meetinghouse posters.
• Scouting Materials. A collection of Scouting resources to help you plan and conduct safe activities.

The Fact Sheets have very helpful safety guidelines on various topics that are useful in church settings, but also helpful to families in general.

• Avian Influenza (bird flu)
• Communicable Diseases, such as Cytomegalovirus (CMV); Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease; and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)
• Disaster Cleanup Guidelines—Church Volunteers
• Floodwater Facts for Volunteers
• Food Safety
• Heat Illness Prevention
• Pandemic Planning, such as Home and Family Preparedness, Sheltering-in-Place, and Social Distancing
• Severe Weather Planning
• Tick Bites
• West Nile Virus
• Youth Handcart Trek Guidelines

If your ward or stake is planning a handcart trek this summer, be sure to review the trek safety guidelines.

There are also posters that can be printed to post in the nursery.
