This resolution expresses support for National Safety Month in June 2025, addressing the critical issue of unintentional injuries and deaths in the United States. The resolution highlights that unintentional injuries cost workers and employers over $167 billion annually and cause significant suffering. It emphasizes the importance of education on safety improvement, employee engagement, roadway safety, and worker well-being. The document recognizes the National Safety Council, founded in 1913 and congressionally chartered in 1953, which works to prevent injuries through safety information, education, and advocacy. The resolution notes that the summer season typically sees increased rates of unintentional injuries, making it an appropriate time to focus on risk prevention. By formally supporting National Safety Month, the resolution strongly urges Illinois citizens and businesses to adopt and practice safe and healthy behaviors across all aspects of their lives, with the ultimate goal of reducing injuries and promoting community well-being.
