you are taking / and when you plan to arrive.

coverage before beginning your travel , and use a detailed map or GPS.

Ensure that you have a fully stocked emergency kit in the event of roadside

emergency.

Check the weather conditions before and throughout your travel.

Drive to arrive - Avoid becoming an aggressive driver / Stay Alert and avoid

distractions / If you plan on drinking, don’t plan on driving.

Leave early and avoid risks / Be prepared for delays in your travel schedule.

Plan Rest Stops – Stop every 2 hours for a minimum of 15 minutes. Fatigue Kills!

Page 18: Garrison Safety Stand Down INSTALLATION SAFETY OFFICE FORT CAMPBELL, KENTUCKY 21 June 2011

NEVER LEAVE A CHILD UNATTENDED IN A VEHICLE.  NOT EVEN FOR A MINUTE!

Be sure that all occupants leave the vehicle when unloading. Don't overlook sleeping

babies.

Always lock your car and ensure children do not have access to keys or remote entry devices. 

If a child is missing, check the car first, including the trunk. Teach your children that vehicles are never to be used as a play area.

Make "look before you leave" a routine whenever you get out of the car.

LEAVING CHILDREN IN VEHICLES

MEDICAL FACTS• Heatstroke occurs when a person's

temperature exceeds 104 degrees F and their thermoregulatory mechanism is overwhelmed;

• A core body temperature of 107 degrees F is considered lethal as cells are damaged and internal organs shut down. 

• Children's thermoregulatory systems are not as efficient as an adult's and their bodies warm at a rate 3 to 5 times faster than an adult’s.

  Sun Exposure Can Cause:

Pre-cancerous (actinic keratosis) and cancerous (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma) skin lesions.

Benign tumors, fine and coarse wrinkles, a yellow discoloration of the skin and dilation of small blood vessels under the skin.

UVA’s don’t cause a sunburn, but their effects have the power to penetrate deep into the dermis, where they can do permanent harm to our DNA.

UVB’s can damage the DNA at the heart of skin cells, and are one of the foremost causes of skin cancer.
