Men’s Health Concern #3: Accidents

The American Association of Accidents… OK who am I kidding. There is no group, organization, or what have you that I can quote or steal from on this one. Actually there is: the Safety Institute of America.

Men are known for having a Devil-may-care attitude about work, recreation, and general safety so today I am just going to list a bunch of things we should do but often don’t:

  • Wear protection (a helmet, safety glasses. gloves, back brace).
  • Use a spotter.
  • Sharpen your blades.
  • Use the right tool.
  • Take it outside.
  • Slow down.
  • Come to a complete stop.
  • Pay attention.
  • Turn it off first.
  • Skip that last drink.
  • Better yet, call a cab.
That’s all I got. Peace.

I was born in and raised near Milwaukee and have pride in the city. I want to be one of the people always striving to make Milwaukee better, starting with getting other men involved in their community.

  2. These are all generic and can be applied to multiple scenarios. Sharpen Your Blades: knife, lawn mower. Come to a complete stop: driving, electric saw.
