Safety Tips
By: Wake County Rescue and EMS Fund

• The earlier you give CPR to a person in cardiac or respiratory arrest, the greater their chance of survival.


• Learning CPR and quickly dialing 911 can mean the difference between life and death.


• Leading a sedentary life is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. 30 minutes a day is all it takes.


• Healthy eating habits help reduce three risk factors for heart attack and stroke -- high cholesterol, high blood pressure and excess body weight.


• High cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke - adults should have a total cholesterol check once every 5 years.


• Smoking is the number one preventable cause of death in the US. If you don't smoke, don't start. If you do, get help to quit now.


• Statistics prove that helmet use reduces head injuries from bicycle crashes by 85 percent.


• Parents – be smart and be an example -- wear a bicycle helmet.


• Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death of children. Never let them swim alone.


• Unintentional injury is the number one killer of America’s children; taking more lives than disease, violence and suicide. Prevention is the cure.


• Parents! Always remember, store firearms unloaded, locked up and out of children’s reach.


• Parents! Never leave potentially poisonous household products unattended while in use. It takes only seconds for a poisoning to occur.


• Precious minutes lost while responding to an emergency can be the difference between life and death. Help us help others by pulling to the right and stopping!


• Every 33 minutes someone dies in an alcohol related crash. Please drink responsibly.


• 1 out of 5 Americans will develop skin cancer. Remember to use sunscreen early and often.


• Women who exercise are less likely to develop heart disease than women who don't exercise.
