Home Safety Month

Bring safety home

Safety in the home is more important now than ever. Preventable injuries and deaths are on the rise in homes and communities across the United States. To really make an impact, people need to be aware of the hazards around them and change their behaviors. The information you find in this section will help you do just that.

Share what you learn here about safety in your home with your family, friends and neighbors. Simple steps could make a huge difference.

Don't use your cell phone while driving. Encourage those around you to do the same.
Get trained in first aid, CPR and AED.
Get a flu shot and make sure your family receives flu shots too.
Fall proof your home.

Don't forget to engage your family. Children could help:

Conduct emergency evacuation drills.
Identify safety hazards around your house, such as electrical cords that someone could trip over, rugs that slip, etc.

Share what you know

If you are passionate about safety and want to help others in your community, consider helping NSC perform A Million Acts of Safety and sign up as a Safety Ambassador.

Keeping loved ones safe

Americans are safer at work than they are at home – 11 times safer.

Off the job

At Work

146 million workers at risk

53,200 off-the-job deaths

9.4 million off-the-job disabling injuries

$240.3 billion in off-the-job costs to society

146 million workers at risk

4,988 on-the-job deaths

3.7 million on-the-job disabling injuries

$164.7 billion in on-the-job costs to society

When you add friends and families into the equation there are a staggering 72,600 deaths that take place in homes and in the community from unintentional injuries, as well as over 20,200,000 disabling injuries, affecting 112 million households, costing Americans over $251.9 billion.

These injuries are from:

falls, especially among adults 65 and older
drivers who are distracted while texting or using their cell phones
inexperienced teen drivers
poisonings especially from unintentional drug overdose from painkillers or other prescription drugs
sports injuries
overexertion
choking
drowning
and many more incidents that we never intended to happen

As a society, we must think about safety not only when we’re at work, but when we’re home and in our communities, in our cars, or on vacation. By understanding the hazards we face, adopting safety as a fundamental right, and knowing that we can influence safe outcomes, together we can make the United States the safest country in the world – each minute of the day, one day at a time.
