There's already plenty of advise here on what you can do to survive via actions, but a large part of surviving relies on your situational awareness and instincts.
Try to recognize a disguise when you see one. Remember seeing co-worker A with long brown hair at the start of the shift? If he/she returns in a gas mask with a big ass yellow afro, they're probably not who they appear to be anymore. A security officer without a security headset should be treated with suspicion, and you should think twice before approaching unknown individuals with no ID on display. (outlandish garb mixes among the crew are quite common, use what your gut tells you!)
Be aware of your surroundings. See someone lingering back and forth around an area repeatedly without communicating at all? They're probably looking for an opportunity to rush into somewhere they don't have access, or secretly nail someone with a radbow or sleepypen when they think no one's looking. They might even be waiting for their targets to pay attention to something else before pulling out guns or a cyalume for a quick kill. It's probably the best that you don't stand directly beside suspicious individuals, and be ready to make fight or flight if necessary.
Try to not be a jerk. You'll be surprised at the number of times you might have been spared by the people you didn't know were antags due to your actions. Helped them up when they got hit by a random segway in the hallway? Dragged them away from blast craters from a massive bomb? Welcomed the guy to use your chem dispensers in the bar without a shotgun to their face? Small little deeds can sometimes go a long way.
