📱 SOCIAL MEDIA SAFETY

In today’s always-online culture, social media has become second nature. Whether you’re sharing job site milestones, networking on LinkedIn, or just scrolling through TikTok, it’s important to stay sharp about what you're posting..and who might be watching.

🚨 Why Social Media Safety Matters

Social platforms aren’t just playgrounds for selfies and memes—they’re powerful tools that can unintentionally reveal personal details, worksite vulnerabilities, or even open the door to phishing and social engineering scams.

Even one post—geotagged, overly detailed, or misinterpreted—can create security risks for individuals, teams, or entire operations.

🛡️ Safety Tips for Workers, Managers & Businesses

1. Think Before You Post

Avoid sharing:

• Exact locations (especially in real time)

• Photos showing ID badges, company documents, or confidential job details

• Travel plans or schedules
  

2. Review Your Privacy Settings

Make sure only trusted individuals can see your posts. Lock down your profile and regularly check for updates to privacy policies.

3. Avoid Mixing Personal and Professional

Keep your work accounts separate from personal ones. This minimizes risk and helps maintain a professional boundary.

4. Watch for Scams & Suspicious Messages

Phishing can happen anywhere, including Instagram DMs or LinkedIn messages. Never share personal or company info through unsecured platforms.

5. If You See Something, Say Something

If a coworker accidentally posts sensitive info or you spot something concerning, speak up. Social media mistakes can be corrected faster when caught early.

✅ Quick Safety Checklist:

• ☐ Are your posts free of sensitive info?

• ☐ Do your photos avoid showing IDs, addresses, or uniforms?

• ☐ Is your profile locked down to "friends only" or "private"?

• ☐ Have you reported suspicious messages or links?
