Many Americans worry about improbable events such as shark attacks and plane crashes, but in reality some of the things we do every day pose a bigger risk to our safety.
The National Safety Council is hosting a free webinar on June 23 that will examine the most common threats to our safety, as well as how to reduce the risk of being hurt or killed in a preventable incident.
NSC Statistics Manager Ken Kolosh, who recently was profiled in Newsweek and on the Discovery Channel, will use data from the 2015 edition of “Injury Facts” to explain:
- The top causes of unintentional injury deaths
- Your odds of dying from various causes
- States with the highest and lowest rates of unintentional injury deaths
- The scope of the “distracted walking” problem
- Why crashes involving distracted drivers have risen for the third straight year
- The exponential rise in falls among older adults
- Why poisonings are up 7 percent in a single year
- Current traffic fatality trends and why deaths likely will increase
Registration for the webinar is required. For more information, email [email protected].
