The National Safety Council (NSC) has established June as
National Safety Month. By incorporating this yearly observation, the council
aims to reduce the number of injuries whether on the road, in our homes or
throughout our communities. The NSC hope to promote extra caution and safety
from each individual.
The leading cause of death in United States citizens ages
1-44 are unforeseen injuries. The number of things we can do on daily basis to
prevent these injury causing accidents are vast. Statistics show that
approximately 100 lives are lost in preventable car accidents. The most common
and obvious causes of these avoidable crashes are speeding, alcohol use,
distraction and tiredness. The chances are higher for someone to be involved in
a motor vehicle accident are more likely than any other life-threatening event.
On a positive note, each driver can take part in preventing car accidents. All
they have to do is plan ahead and ensure that they are abiding by the rules of
the road. You should never operate a vehicle after drinking or while you are
feeling drowsy. Respect the speed limit of the area you are driving through.
While these tactics may not guarantee an exclusion from a motor vehicle
accident, it does lessen the chances of one occurring.
To contribute to making a difference in the number of
injuries experienced, spread the word. Encourage communities, workplaces,
families and individuals to identify and report safety hazards.
