Sure thing!
I forgot a couple more related to accidents...
Always wear your seat belt in a car
Always wear a helmet (and other protective clothing as needed) when riding a motorcycle, scooter, or bicycle
Always wear proper protective equipment for work and hobbies, for example gloves and eye protection if using power tools or chemicals
If you live in a dense city with a lot of traffic accidents, consider trying to move to a smaller city, unless that would harm your ability to keep up other healthy habits
Make sure your home and work buildings have working smoke detectors and emergency fire exits; if they're available in your country, also carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, which can prevent poisoning from certain malfunctioning heating equipment
If you use electrical appliances in your bathroom or kitchen, make sure that either the appliances or the wall sockets have GFCI devices, a kind of electrical safety equipment that is mandatory in many countries and that prevents electrocution from some kinds of short circuits due to the presence of water; if you use an electric water heater for your shower, have it inspected for safety by an expert electrician
If your city regularly has seriously bad air quality (like from car traffic, industrial pollution, or wildfires), install an air purifier inside your house (you can most likely make one cheaply from a fan and HEPA filter, if necessary)
