Safety – Safety Overview - Popup |
If you’re under age 45, clear judgment and a watchful eye may be more important to your wellbeing than health insurance. The leading cause of death before middle age is unintentional injury. Most fatalities (nearly half) are from motor vehicle crashes, a third of which involve alcohol. Employees are twice as likely to be hurt away from work as at work where injuries are declining. More than 100,000 people will die this year due to accidents – most of which could be prevented by taking safety precautions. Stay vigilant.
