 101 days of summer is approaching. For Memorial Day weekend, through the Labor Day holiday, we enjoy all types of warm weather events. But summer is also a critical time for injuries. More mishaps occur during these 101 days than they do throughout the rest of the year. In the summer of 2014, there were 22 fatalities between the Navy and the Marine Corps. Whether you're just working or just enjoying the summer, anybody not accustomed to heat is at risk for heat-related illness. That is why safety is so important. While participating in events, remember to stretch prior, stay hydrated, wear proper gear, and know your limits. If you're planning to take a trip, remember to use trips. Trips is an online risk assessment that helps you recognize and reduce travel risk. For more information about summer safety, visit the Navy Safety Center's website.
