SAFE 4 THE RIGHT REASONS Wylie Davidson, DiVal Safety
Davidson takes a look at our human nature and breaks down why we put ourselves at risk. The fact is, as humans

TSSA's 4th Annual FREE Fall Safety Seminar is Wednesday, September 23rd at NDSCS.

07/04/2015

If you or a child is injured during this Holiday season from Fireworks or any type of burn wound, please call 911 immediately. Do not rub or touch the burn as this may cause more damage than expected. Do not place ice on the burn, remove clothing from the area of the wound and run cool (not cold) water on it.
With eye injuries do not flush the eye out with water. Instead cut out the bottom of a paper cup and place over the eye until medical attention can be found.
Don’t forget to take extra safety measures this Fourth of July!
