In the United States, there
is a flu season that begins every fall
and ends every spring. The type of
flu people get during this season is
called seasonal flu.
Public health experts warn pandemic influenza poses a significant risk to the United States and the world—only its timing, severity, and exact strain remain uncertain. International, Federal, State, local, and tribal government agencies are diligently planning for the public health response to this potential pandemic. The disease could be severe and could affect our critical infrastructure and our nation’s economic and social security. It is important that you take action.
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), since 1970, 75,000 lives have been saved and millions of injuries
and illnesses have been prevented through effective occupational safety
and health management systems.1 But you don’t need a statistician to know
that safety is good for business.
