We get it. You’re an expert at your job. You think, I’m not going to fall. I’ve done it a hundred times before. But in reality, these lies you’re telling yourself can lead to a serious injury. Without following the proper safety procedures, a typical day at work might not turn out so typical after all. Good advice, even if your name isn’t Bill. #TheTruthHurtsBC #injuryprevention #adcampaign #socialmarketing #visionzero #roadsafety #workplacesafety #worksafety

When it comes to safety, we’re often not too honest with ourselves. In a recent survey, 27% of people believe that they are less likely than others to get hurt during everyday activities. But believing that injuries just won’t happen can put us at risk for a serious injury. That’s the idea behind our latest campaign, called “The Truth Hurts.” #TheTruthHurtsBC #injuryprevention #adcampaign #socialmarketing #visionzero #roadsafety #workplacesafety #worksafety

Workplaces often have lots of reminders and warnings: Hard hats required. Caution: Wet floor. You’re pretty good at preventing injuries at work. But what about outside of work hours? Do you remember to put your phone on silent when driving? Do you supervise your kids at the lake? Do you follow safe ladder practices at home? Taking steps to prevent injuries outside of work is just as important as when you’re at work. Yellow lines (and signs) exist in a lot of places to remind us. But when there are no yellow lines, preventing injuries are up to you—wherever you may be. Yellow lines don’t prevent injuries. You do. Let’s keep it preventable. #YellowLines #preventinjury #worksafety #workplacesafety #homesafety

It’s daylight savings time. As the days get shorter and you adjust your clocks, it’s good to adjust your driving as well. 🚶🏻‍♂️Take extra time to look for pedestrians ⛈ Slow down in poor conditions 🔆 Pop on those headlights if they don’t go on automatically 📵 Keep your phone out of sight Let’s keep it preventable. #YellowLines #roadsafety #pedestriansafety #visionzero #distracteddriving #leavethephonealone

It’s back to school! We know, it’s busy. Back to the grind. When you're driving in a school zone, don’t forget to go back to 30—kilometres per hour, that is. We’re not in the anti-aging business. Let’s keep school zone crashes preventable. #schoolzone #backtoschool #firstday #firstdayofschool #roadsafety #YellowLines

When boating this weekend, draw your own yellow lines. Save the alcohol for when you’re docked. Remember to wear your PFD. Let’s keep drownings preventable. #YellowLines #preventinjury #drowning #watersafety #summersafety
