JUNE IS NATIONAL SAFETY MONTH

The National Safety Council has designated June as National Safety Month in an effort to promote public

awareness and, hopefully, to decrease the number of injuries and deaths. Preventable injuries remain a leading risk to public health. Injuries created by falls, fires, automobile collisions, poisonings and other unintentional events were the fifth leading cause of death in America in 1997. 93,800 people died of fatal injuries and 19.3 million suffered disabling injuries at work, home and in the community.

Communities, businesses, educational institutions and individuals are being encouraged to participate in a nationwide effort by holding a variety of community events to promote the importance of safety. Each of the four weeks in June will focus upon a different area of safety:

  • June 6-12
 Workplace Safety Week
  • June 13-19
 Home Safety Week
  • June 20-26
 First Aid and Community Safety Week
  • June 27-July 4
 Driving Safety Week
