The good news is that
almost every accident is preventable, and a planned approach
 to safety will help you and your family avoid serious accidents.

  The DuPont company has a comprehensive family safety program. DuPont employees and their families have far fewer off-the-job accidents than the national average.

  A program by the U.S. Navy emphasizing off-duty recreational safety reduced fatalities by about 50 percent.

  Nearly 70 percent of boating fatalities involve an operator who didn't take a boating safety class. Boating fatalities are down over 50% in the last 30 years due to an emphasis on safety.

  More National Safety Council studies show that off-the-job safety efforts reduce accidents.

____________________________________

The need to make safety a top priority in your life and the
lives of family members can be seen from the following statistics:

  • Every year about 30,000,000 (1-in-10) of us go to emergency facilities due to off-the-job accidents, 20,000,000 are temporarily disabled, and 200,000+ are permanently disabled.

  • About 120,000 Americans will die accidentally in the next twelve months.

  • Lifetime odds of dying accidentally are about 1-in-30 for males, and 1-in-50 for females.

  • One-in-eight drivers will be involved in an accident involving injuries or property damage in the next 12 months.

  • Accidents are the leading cause of death for kids, teens, and young adults, ages 1 to 41.

You can significantly lower these odds with one of our publications.

In addition to family safety books, we offer books for child and
teen safety. And we offer articles that may be copied for businesses to use to reduce on-the-job and off-the-job accidents (links below).

How You And Your Family Will Benefit From
The Award-Winning Book,
Live Safely in a Dangerous World,
And Its Companion E-book, The Safety Book For Your Family.
 

  ● The basic purpose of Live Safely in a Dangerous World is for your use as a Personal Safety Plan reference book.

 ● You will have at your fingertips over 3,000 safety tips on 127 vital Driving, Home, Leisure and General, and Kids' safety topics.

 ● With these tips from hundreds of experts you can tailor Personal  Safety Plans for every family member.

 ● Here's some ideas on how the book will help keep you safe:

Initially, review the book to develop a useful checklist of safety tips you and your family should follow in your daily activities.

Another valuable use is when you do something that is not part of your normal routine. For example, review specific safety tips:

 * For an out-of-town trip, painting your house, a vacation in a foreign country, holiday periods, etc.
 * When you begin a seasonal activity, such as boating or skiing, or start a new activity.
 * As your child grows up, or develops new interests.
 * When your teenager starts to drive.

Live Safely in a Dangerous World will help you anticipate - and survive - the unexpected.

 ● You get a summary of the 10 key steps to follow in developing
your Safety Plans.

 ● Live Safely in a Dangerous World gives you an organized approach to your family's safety, instead of the piecemeal, incomplete approach most families use.

 ● Live Safely in a Dangerous World is very readable.

A unique feature of the book is the use of light-humored
illustrations and true stories to help get the points across.

  For years, Gail kept her favorite captain’s chair with its comfortable seat cushion beside her kitchen pantry. Not only was it an attractive piece of furniture, it was also perfect to stand on for reaching objects stored high in the pantry. On a stylistic whim, she replaced the flat cushion with a thicker version. The next time she climbed onto the chair, the surprising thickness of the new cushion caused her to lose her balance and crash to the floor, injuring her shoulder and striking her head.
