This may not be a safety tip, but early and late in the season I throw a change of clothes and a wool blanket in the back of the truck. If you fall in and still decide to fish you can at least do it dry, or enjoy a better ride home.
It all comes down to common sense. I can imagine no fish worth putting my life, or anyone I know, at risk.
There was a video floating around the internet that had some pretty good information regarding getting out of the water on your own. It is worth watching if you can find it. It may teach you something.
I'll second the tip for never go on thin ice alone. There are plenty of people that are willing to tag along.
