Why Every Member Of Your Family Needs A Personal Safety Plan
We have an "Accident Epidemic" in this country.
This "epidemic" affects far more people than the viruses that grab the
headlines.
With a Personal Safety Plan, you will significantly reduce
your chances of being involved in a serious accident.
Without a Personal Safety Plan, these are the odds you face.
-
Every year about 30,000,000 (1-in-10) of us go to emergency
facilities due to off-the-job accidents, 20,000,000 are temporarily disabled, and
200,000+ are permanently
disabled.
-
About
120,000 Americans will die accidentally in the next twelve months.
Over 40,00 on the roads, over 40,000 at home, and over 30,000 in
public locations.
-
Lifetime odds of
dying accidentally are about 1-in-30 for males (more
than 3%), and
1-in-50
for females (2%).
-
Accidents are the leading cause of death for
kids, teens, and young adults, ages 1 to 41.
Click here for more accident statistics from the National Safety
Council,
and how the odds are calculated
As the following examples show, the good news is
that
a planned approach to safety makes you and your family safer.
The DuPont company has a comprehensive off-the-job
safety program. Its employees and their families have far fewer off-the-job accidents
than the national average.
A program by the U.S. Navy emphasizing off-duty recreational safety has
reduced fatalities by about 50 percent.
Nearly 70 percent of boating fatalities involve an operator who didn't
take a boating safety class. Boating fatalities are down over 50% in
the last 30 years due to an emphasis on safety.
Additional studies by the National Safety Council prove that off-the-job
safety efforts reduce accidents.
Also, on-the-job fatalities have declined significantly over the years
due to a safety emphasis and the safety training provided to
employees.

For years,
Gail kept her favorite captain’s chair with its comfortable
seat cushion beside her kitchen pantry. Not only was it an
attractive piece of furniture, it was also perfect to stand
on for reaching objects stored high in the pantry. On a
stylistic whim, she replaced the flat cushion with a thicker
version. The next time she climbed onto the chair, the
surprising thickness of the new cushion caused her to lose
her balance and crash to the floor, injuring her shoulder
and striking her head.

Here's Some More Ideas On
How
The Safety Book For Your Family
Will Help
You
And Your Family Stay Safe With Personal Safety Plans
Driving
Safety
The
20 Driving
Topics,
including a topic on teen drivers, will
make everyone in your family a safer driver.
Go over the topics that apply to your daily trips. When you take
long driving trips, look at the Long-Distance and Big
Truck articles. When the seasons change, read the topics
that apply to your part of the country.
Home
Safety
Our homes are
as dangerous as our roadways. As many people die at home as
die in traffic accidents. The
30 Home
Topics will make
your home safer for your family and visitors. Poisonings, falls, and
fires are the most dangerous hazards. Periodically
review the Falls article. At the beginning of the
heating season go over several fire and heating safety
topics. The special activities around holiday periods
require extra vigilance.
Leisure
and General Safety
What are your family's
leisure interests? Take a look at the
49 Leisure & General
Topics that
could apply.
A number of water-related topics might be useful to
examine as a family. Seasonal activities can be more
dangerous than routine
activities because we forget some of the hazards
involved. Boating, camping, fishing, golf, and
skiing are just a few of the topics that
are covered.
Child
Safety
As kids grow up, they face
new dangers every year. The
30 Kids'
Topics will help keep your kids and
grandkids safe. Go over the
book's age-specific and activity-specific topics as your
kids and grandkids celebrate birthdays and develop new interests. A six-year-old
faces many different hazards than he did as a toddler.
Biking and other activities on wheels deserve special
attention.
Teen
Safety
Review with your teen
driver the
20 Driving
Topics.
The information will accelerate their learning
curve by making them more aware
of hazards they are likely to encounter, and how to deal
with the hazards. Other topics in the book will also be of
great benefit to your teen.
Going through these topics will not
only be a good learning experience for your teen, but you'll
probably learn a few new things as well.
To get a
better idea of 50
specific hazards a
Personal Safety Plan
will help you deal with, click here.
