As the nation faces unprecedented heatwaves this summer, our most vulnerable are at risk – children. It’s now more critical than ever to learn about preventing child hot car deaths so no more lives are in danger. Along with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA and Chemistry, we urge parents to remember to “Stop. Look. Lock.”

High visibility traffic enforcement combined with public outreach and education can reduce the dangerous driving behaviors that are all too commonplace on our roads. A new study from the Behavioral Traffic Safety Cooperative Research Program finds that “all of the HVE campaign studies showed positive impacts in the metrics evaluated.” This includes reductions in drunk driving crashes and deaths, increases in seat belt use, less cell phone use while driving and fewer pedestrian crashes. The report also provides four frameworks that agencies can use to evaluate and improve their campaigns.

For all my contacts working to save lives in rural communities… check out this resource from my colleagues at NHTSA! We can improve crash prevention as well as the critical EMS and 911 systems that respond to save before, during and after the crash in these communities! Does your 911 system have the resources they need to impact all 5 aspects of the safe system approach? Is your EMS leveraging best practices to save additional lives? Are you doing something innovative that others should know about? Together we can move towards zero deaths on our roadways!
At National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA, we just released resources for rural communities to improve road safety. This is a fantastic resource with ideas to improve safety outcomes in rural America. Fatal crashes on rural roads are overrepresented in the crash data--about half of the fatalities on the roads in the US occur on rural roads despite only 20% of the people living there. Thank you to the team who worked on this document. https://lnkd.in/egvu3AjH

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has released the 11th edition of Countermeasures That Work to help state and local governments implement effective programs to save lives, prevent crashes, and make our roads safer for everyone. Countermeasures That Work incorporates a proactive, safe system approach to eliminating fatalities on our nation’s roads, and addresses the safety of all road users, including those who walk, roll, bike, ride, and drive. The guide describes major strategies and countermeasures, summarizes their use, effectiveness, costs, and implementation time, and provides references to the most important research summaries and individual studies available on strategies and countermeasures to improve road and driver safety.

Today is National Heatstroke Prevention Day! Help us, along with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA, spread the word: Once You Park, Stop, Look, Lock. Even in temperatures as low as 60°F, the inside of a car can overheat quickly. No matter how quick the errand, never leave a child in a parked car – it could turn deadly fast. A child’s body temperature rises 3-5 times faster than an adult’s does. In 2023, 29 children died because of vehicular heatstroke. This tragedy is 100% preventable. While it seems like an impossible mistake to make, every parent or caregiver can potentially become distracted, and distractions often fuel this devastating situation. Help us by sharing this post, as we each have a role to play to help keep our kids safe. . . #NHTSA #NationalHeatstrokePreventionDay #HeatstrokePreventionDay #StopLookLock #PreventHotCarDeaths #ActFast #CheckTheBackSeat

Creativity and innovation are core to the human spirit. There's no nobler application of this than to the protection of our children. So to celebrate and raise awareness here's six inventions and how they protect our children: 💺 Child Car Seats: Essential for safe travel in vehicles, designed to protect kids during accidents. 🚸 Pedestrian Crossings: Slow traffic and provide safe walking paths across roads 🔒 Childproof Latches/Locks: Secure cabinets and drawers to keep children away from harmful items. 🛰️ GPS Tracking Devices: Monitor children's whereabouts in real time for added security. ⛑️ Safety Helmets: Provide head protection during activities like biking or skating to prevent injuries. 💜 Ditto: A big, furry lion cub that teaches children body safety skills What other inventions protect your children?

Have you ever been out to a location and looked at how things like munitions are stored? These bunkers, made out of concrete and covered in earth, were built decades ago are still used today (with some updated technology and alarms) This way of storing munitions is proven to protect them against: Theft Lightning Strikes Tornadoes Fires And many other situations that could pose a possible dangerous situation if they were not protected adequately The protection would not be there if people took shortcuts - like just storing the munitions in a parking lot or outside the bunker... It is no different in many other areas of our lives we operate in on a daily basis I drive across America quite a bit and see many drivers that are taking the time to do things the righty way, while unfortunately others are taking shortcuts - causing a threat to themselves and others around them I have visited many manufacturing facilities - most are being operated in tried and proven operations that are safe, others, well there are shortcuts taken... I have talked to people that know their carriers they use don't have adequate safety programs in place but use them anyway - a shortcut that is dangerous for many others... but use them anyway because of rates Most of us have probably heard this before: "Don't walk on the grass - If you take a shortcut now you will take shortcuts later in life... " It is great to be efficient - just not taking shortcuts that put others or the environment in danger I love our motto at Bennett Family of Companies "Safety is Priority 1" - They live this from the top down. No Shortcuts that are going to reduce safety. Please remember as we head into this summer season and people are taking vacations, take the time and effort to do things right - our families and others are counting on this We wouldn't store our munitions (or fireworks) exposed out in a field during a lightning storm - let's not take other devastating safety shortcuts on the highways, on the water, in our businesses or in our homes Let's have a safe summer!! #ilovewhatido #othersfirst #beallyoucanbe #transportation

🌟 Check Out Our Product in Action! In this test, we applied our product to a 3-foot stretch of dry fuel, following the guidelines from Clore Wildfire Defense. After a week, we compared the treated area to an untreated fuel bed under identical conditions. 🔥 Results: Treated Area: No burning occurred. Untreated Area: Completely burned. Watch the video to see our product's effectiveness! #WildfirePrevention #SafetyFirst #CloreWildfireDefense
