Injuries occur to everyone. An injury can be as simple as getting a paper cut while filing your bills or as serious as breaking your back. Many injuries however can be prevented to some degree. If you take care of yourself and take protective measures, you will be less likely to be injured.

If you work in a hazardous environment, chances are you are required to wear safety equipment (gloves, hardhat, safety glasses etc.) Do not treat these requirements as a chore; they are there to protect you. Many injuries occur from sports also. Some injuries, such as pulling or straining a muscle can be prevented by stretching. It is vital to use precaution in whatever activity you partake in. Follow safety measures, take your time, and stay healthy and your risk for injury will be dramatically decreased.
