It’s June 1^st, Memorial Day has passed, and to many the start of summer has officially begun, but did you know it is also the start of National Safety Month? That’s right, it is an annual observance run by the The National Safety Council. June is a month dedicated to increasing education about the top causes of preventable injuries and deaths and to encourage safe behaviors at work, at home, on the road and in our communities.

In June the National Safety Council (NSC) encourages businesses and communities from coast to coast to get involved and participate in National Safety Month. Each week is dedicated to a specific theme to help bring attention to a critical safety issue.

Here is the line up for June 2010:

Week 1 – June 1-6: Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention

Week 2 – June 7-13: Teen Driving Safety

Week 3 – June 14-20: Preventing Overexertion at Work and at Home

Week 4 – June 21-27: Dangers of Cell Phone Use While Driving

Week 5 – June 28-30: Summer Safety
