Trauma & Burn

Preventive Measures for Trauma

Injury can be considered a preventable disease. Although we often consider injury a result of accident, some simple actions can help make injuries less frequent and less severe.

• Wear seatbelts
• Use properly installed infant car seats
• Wear a helmet when riding bicycles, motorcycles, ATVs, or other similar activities.
• Do not operate cars, motorcycles, boats, power tools, or machines when you've been drinking alcohol
• Leave the roofing and electrical work to professionals
• Use trigger locks and keep guns securely out of reach
