Soldiers and Civilians will be challenged as they execute both on and off-duty

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:
