5 Surprising Facts About Safety [-_-]

6/1/2018

Comments

 
Safety is important to us because we know it’s important to you. 

In fact, it’s a fundamental need on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. 

We’ve compiled some surprising facts and statistics to keep in mind as your commute, work, travel, and go about your daily lives:
  1. If you drive after being awake for 24 hours, your response times are impaired, comparable to someone who is just over the drinking limit.
  2. A recent study found that safety signs which inform you of danger can reduce accident rates in the workplace by up to 80%. 
  3. Cities are not statistically more dangerous. Despite the violence and crime you may hear about in cities, “research also exists suggesting that rural areas bear a disproportionately high level of risk for certain serious injuries such as suicide and motor vehicle injuries” ("Safety in Numbers: Are Major Cities the Safest Places in the United States?", American College of Emergency Physicians).
  4. It’s dangerous to overshare on social media. Depending on your privacy settings, people can find your locations and figure out your daily patterns.
  5. Fire kills more Americans each year than all natural disasters combined.

Remember: Your safety is your responsibility: Make sure you’re always aware of your surroundings and go prepared for any situation.
