NSC Plans to 'Make a Difference' in June

May 12, 2008

"Make a Difference" is the theme of the National Safety Council's 2008 National Safety Month observance and a call to action to employers and other organizations to help reverse a dramatic national increase in accidental injuries and deaths. NSC says participation in National Safety Month each June is just one way that businesses and other organizations can support the organization's efforts to prevent accidental injuries by encouraging safe and healthy behaviors.

This year's observance will feature a weekly focus on the leading causes of preventable deaths--motor vehicle collisions, unintentional poisonings from overdoses, and falls--as well as the lifesaving benefits of CPR/AED training for people in the workplace, at home, and in their communities.

NSC's schedule of 2008 weekly topics follows:

Week 1: June 2-6 Emergency Preparedness
Week 2: June 9-13 Distracted Driving
Week 3: June 16-20 Poison Prevention
Week 4: June 23-27 Falls Prevention

National Safety Month posters and other materials will be available at no charge on the 2008 National Safety Month Planner's page, www.nsc.org/nsm.

Ventis® Pro5

The Ventis Pro5 is the most flexible connected gas monitor on the market, giving you the power to protect workers from up to five gases, manage worker safety from remote locations, and simplify team communication to take the guesswork out of gas detection. It automatically shares real-time gas readings, man-down, and panic alarms between peers – meaning the entire team knows who is in danger and why. By sharing real-time data, workers can also maintain continuous communication without the need for additional infrastructure or devices. Visit us at AIHce booth #927 to learn more! 3
