Injuries are a leading cause of disability for people of all ages, and the leading cause of death for Americans ages 1 to 44. When people practice safe behaviors, they can help prevent injuries – and even death.

Make a difference: This month, spread the word about strategies for staying safe. Encourage communities, organizations, families, and individuals to get involved.

We can all use this month to raise awareness about important safety issues like:

Here is a great website to understand risks of older construction materials in your home: EPA.Gov

Did you know that, according to the CDC, about half of all falls happen at home? Here is a link to a fall prevention check list: CDC.Gov Fall Prevention Check List

We’ll be sharing other safety related information throughout the month!
