Help Save Lives and Prevent Injuries During National Safety Month in June Marshall County Health Department is joining the National Safety Council (NSC) and thousands of organizations across the country as they work to raise awareness of  what it takes to stay SafeForLife. Observed annually in June, National Safety Month focuses on reducing leading causes of injury and death at work, on the roads and  in our homes and communities. Safety is no accident. It’s a choice we need to make throughout our entire lives. Whether it’s driving without passengers as a newly licensed teen, finding alternatives to prescription painkillers in middle-age or fall-proofing the bathroom as an older adult, we’re all empowered to make safe decisions for ourselves and those we care about.
Each week in June, the NSC will be highlighting a different safety topic:
*         Week 1: Stand Ready to Respond
*         Week 2: Be Healthy
*         Week 3: Watch Out for Dangers
*         Week 4: Share Roads Safely
