Spring/Summer Safety

As the temperatures rise every spring, there's a corresponding increase in fatal Army accidents. Soldiers, Army civilians and their Family members are sometimes a little too eager to get back to the fun only warm weather can bring: motorcycles, road trips, water activities and relaxation with friends that often includes alcohol. Because Soldiers and civilians are undoubtedly going to enjoy their off-duty time or time away from the office, it's incumbent upon leaders at all levels to ensure they're equipped to make smart decisions.

The tabs below contain feature articles, posters and resource documents themed on timely topics to augment your existing safety programs. Just as in seasons past, all are easily downloadable and ready to use in whatever format you prefer. Extended holiday leaves and rapidly changing weather conditions will open the door for risk, and getting this information to Soldiers now will help them mitigate the hazards in whatever they do.

Beginning April 1, the USACRC will release separate campaigns for National Distracted Driving Awareness Month and Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. Be sure to visit our website during that time for the most up-to-date safety multimedia on each of these critical topics.

As always, the USACRC welcomes your feedback. Play it safe, and remember, Army Safe is Army Strong!
