Safety Corner

     

President Bush has proclaimed June to be National Safety Month. With accidental deaths totaling over 100,000 the President encourages all of us to remember the importance of health and safety in our lives. Each week for the month of June, the National Safety Council (NSC) has specific areas to focus on safety. Preparedness is the focus for the week of June 16 - 22.

Are you prepared to react positively in an emergency? Do you know how to protect yourself when at work or yourself and your family in severe weather events? Are you prepared to evacuate your home or facility at a moments notice?

Keep yourself, your family and your company prepared by evaluating your Emergency Response Plan.

As an employee, are you prepared to deal with injuries sustained in a natural disaster or other emergency? Keep a first aid kit handy; better yet, be prepared with a course in first aid or CPR.
