Temperatures are rising, Soldiers and Civilians will be
challenged as they execute both on and off-duty activities. Privately owned
vehicle (POV) operations, recreational water activities and seasonal conditions
account for the majority of summer accidents and injuries. We ask everyone to take ownership of the
risk-management process and to be your own best battle buddy. Whether you are
taking a Family vacation, road trip, riding your motorcycle or boating on the
lake, be aware of potential hazards. Take responsibility for your own safety.
Wear your seat belts, obey speed limits and wear your personal protective equipment
as required. We cannot afford the loss
of a Soldier, Family Member, or Civilian employee to a preventable injury. Now
is the time to evaluate and ensure all facets of your summer safety initiatives
are in order. You can go to this link
and print out SG # 16-12 (Heat Illness), SG #16-13 (Heat Cramps and Heat
Exhaustion and SG #16-14 (Heat Stroke) flyers and post it on your safety
board:
