Analysis Of Toward Zero Deaths

The Ottawa Charter for health promotion is a document developed in 1986 by the W.H.O that aims at enabling, empowering and encouraging people to improve, and increase control over their own health. In relation to road safety, all five action areas are addressed through the introduction and availability of specific services to the public by all levels of government, NGO’s, the community and individuals.

3.7. Using a risk assessment to promote health and safety is very important to ensure that the individual is kept safe in the work place. Risk assessments evaluate the risks and identify hazards to put precautions in place to reduce the risks.

Throughout the day and accident or incident should be logged and reviewed constantly at meetings and make sure that you communicate the risks and changes to others to prevent them getting hurt. The risk assessment can help address dilemmas between an individual's rights and health and safety concerns to allow people have awareness then they can work towards avoiding the dangers and keeping others safe within their environment.

Each year numerous lives are lost due to careless and irrational driving. The disregard for safe driving has been a predicament to the United States of America for years. Many years Police have relied heavily on speed cameras, breathalyzer tests and heavy fines as a deterrent against unlawful drivers. Over the years fatality rates have increased, so the Department of Transportation and Highway Safety has composed a series of safe driving campaigns. On many occasions the Transportation Department informs and advises the public about the importance of responsible driving. They propagate safe driving through the various channels of the media and

Dying is a very sad part of life and no one likes it. It's even sadder when it's a death that can be easily avoided. Injury-related are almost always of the highly preventable type with much of it being due to carelessness or not being conscious of the things that a person ingests or their surroundings.One of the top non-disease killers is death from automotive accidents. In a statistical gathering by the CDC, deaths from automotive accidents were the leading non-disease killers from ages 5-24 and the second one in ages 25-65+. Georgia has had an increasing rate of injury-related deaths, with traffic deaths being the most prominent. A big indicator to me was the signs where they post information on traffic and accidents ahead. The signs

June is a special month for my family for two reasons: (1) It is the month my oldest brother was born and (2) it is the month he almost died. Early June, after a morning of fun my brother, his fiancée, and a friend were on the road headed to my father’s house. All seemed well—they were alive, they were young, they were happy—what could go wrong? While driving down a country road, Edward, my brother, miscalculated the turn, and at that moment three lives were at stake. An overturned car, broken bodies and glass, and a great deal of blood was the scene as help finally arrived. Thankfully they walked away from the accident—hurt, but alive. However, not everyone can say the same as they can. For this reason, the change and enforcement of new and old laws is vital to making our roads and highways better and safer. Strictly enforcing laws already in place, redesigning highways, and enacting laws to enforce hands-free policies are just a few ways in which this goal can be accomplished.

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) provides numerous services related to vehicle registration and licensing. The state agency is responsible for titling, licensing, and inspecting vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles (Dresang, 2012). The DMV vehicle inspection center examines the motorist’s headlights, taillights, turn signals, horn, windshield wipers, emergency flashers, emissions, and brakes prior to the driver proceeding to the relicensing stage (Dresang, 2012). Therefore, the division’s widget is vehicle inspections.

People typically respond positively when it comes to free easy money. That’s why Allstate provides rewards to their auto insurance customers if they drive safe every year.

Today in our world, technology is running our generation. People are using their phones in the wrong areas, they were not made to be distractions and cause wrecks to be taken. A lot of people today do not realize is about 40 percent of the wrecks that occur in the world have to do with taking their eyes off of the road for too long. Measures need to be taken to decrease the number of wrecks per year. Although people believe texting and driving should not be finable, people do not realize the injuries/ deaths involved, what the distraction on the road can cause, and enforcement also includes a behavior change.

In the recent years, the United States government has been enforcing stricter mandates on auto manufacturers to create safer vehicles, and on construction companies to create safer roadways. Matthew Jensen wrote a dissertation for the Graduate School of Clemson University titled, A Methodology for the Analysis of In-vehicle Operating Data and Design of Intelligent Vehicle Systems for Improved Automotive Safety. In his abstract, Jensen evaluated the future of vehicle manufacturing and traffic-related incidents. Of course, every year more vehicles are manufactured, which in theory means the number of miles driven in vehicles increases. He points out how the World Health Organization (WHO) found that automobile crashes was the ninth
