June is National Safety Month! Safety Month is intended to spread safety awareness to help prevent injuries & fatalities in the workplace. In 2020, there were about 2.7 million work-related injuries & 4,764 on the job fatalities. While US workplace injury rates have been on the decline since 1972, dropping by 75%, occupational fatalities have been on the rise since 2010, with a 2% increase between 2018 to 2019.

Older workers are at a higher risk, workers aged 55 or older made up 1/3 of workplace fatalities. Those working in the agricultural industry see the highest fatality rates followed by those in the Mining, Quarrying, & Oil & Gas Extraction industry, Transportation & Warehousing industry, Construction industry, & Wholesale Trade industry. 

Slips, trips, falls, overexertion, bodily reactions, & contact with objects & equipment make up for more than 84% of workplace injuries. Serious workplace injuries account for almost $60 billion in work comp costs each year!

Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month

5/11/2022

Motorcycle Safety isn't just for motorcyclists, it's for all drivers on the road!
There are about 89,000 accidents every year that involve a motorcycle & of those accidents 4,985 result in a fatality. It's up to all of us to make sure motorcyclists get to their destination safely. Follow the tips below when sharing the road with a motorcycle or driving one yourself!

Tips for Drivers:
1. Take another look! Motorcycles can easily be in your vehicle's blind spots, so before changing lanes or making a turn make sure you look twice.
2. Keep a safe distance! When coming to a stop or even slowing down, many cyclists don't hit their brakes instead they'll slow down by downshifting or rolling off the throttle. Allow some extra space between you & them!
3. They are closer than they appear! Because motorcycles are smaller it's hard to judge their speed & distance, so just assume they are closer than they look.

Tips for Cyclists:
​1. Wear the right gear. First off, wear your helmet, helmet's save the lives of an estimated 1,800 motorcyclists every year. Wear leather or other protective clothing & make sure you are fully covered. Dress for a crash.
2. Be aware of other vehicles. Give yourself space between yourself & other motorists & keep an eye on vehicles that may be in your path.
3. Have good insurance. Before you even get on your motorcycle make sure it's insured!
4. Ride defensively & ride as if other drivers don't see you.
