How
The 129 Safety Times Reproducible Articles
Will
Benefit You, Your Associates, And Your Company
●
Reduce on-the-job accidents by developing 24-hour safety attitudes.
Safety is not
a switch you turn on when you come to work.
●
Improve on-the-job productivity. Sixty percent of lost-time injuries are due
to off-the-job accidents.
●
Reduce workers' compensation claims related to off-the-job
injuries.
●
Improve your safety culture and employee morale.
●
Help your
employees and their families avoid serious accidents by giving them the
information
they need to develop Personal Safety Plans.
●
Save time in developing safety
material. You can tailor the use of the articles to the
time you want to
spend on off-the-job safety.
●
Lower medical and other expenses.
The National Safety Council estimates
off-the-job
accidents cost employers over $700 per employee per year in
medical and
other costs. Costs
approximate $1,000 per employee per year when
you add medical costs for dependents.

determine your costs,

●
Many topics have direct application to on-the-job safety issues,
particularly driving.
As one
recent purchaser of a Safety Times product said,
"If all our efforts prevent even one accident it will be
worth it."

A unique feature of the Reproducible Articles is the use of
introductory
light-humored illustrations and true stories to help get the points across.
All it took to turn a
routine April morning commute into a 98-car nightmare of
wreckage and mayhem was a little rain, sudden bright
sunshine, and some careless drivers.
"This is a wreck that just didn't need
to happen," said a spokesman for the Missouri Highway Patrol in St.
Louis. "The real blame is on people driving too fast for the
conditions and following each other too closely in inclement
weather. Vehicles were kicking up a lot of mist and causing glare.
Someone looked ahead and saw traffic backed up, hit the brakes, and
then started to skid. That's how this whole mess got started."
For about 40 people, the pileup ended in
an emergency room. Amazingly, no one ended up in a morgue.

Almost every off-the-job accident is preventable.
As the following examples show,
a
planned approach to safety
will help your employees and their families lead safer
lives.
The DuPont company has a comprehensive off-the-job
safety program. Its 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.
Studies by the National Safety Council prove that off-the-job
safety efforts reduce accidents.
On-the-job fatalities declined significantly over the years
due to a safety emphasis and the safety training provided to
employees. FYI, about 5,000 workers die on the job every year.
____________________________________
Most people without a Personal Safety Plan will be involved in a
serious accident(s) during their lifetime, based on the
statistics.

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

How The Award-Winning Book,
Live Safely in a Dangerous World, Will Benefit Your Company

employees and their families a safety reference they can use at all
times, provide

arrangement.
You may modify the text and create

Preventing just one serious accident among all your
