Today is National Injury Prevention Day, a moment dedicated to promoting safety and raising awareness about injury prevention.
About 62 million Americans—or roughly one of every five people—seek medical care for an injury each year, according to the National Safety Council. The council further notes that preventable injuries are the leading cause of death for Americans age 44 and younger, and that the death rate from preventable injuries is a staggering 95% higher than it was in 1992. Meanwhile, for nonfatal injuries, falls and car crashes are primary drivers of visits to local ERs.
Remember that injuries are not accidents, and many of them can be prevented by being aware of the conditions around you, adopting safe practices, and following established safety protocols, among other steps.
