Men’s Health Concern #3: Accidents

Wow, there are a lot of Russian
safety posters for some reason -
 Google it.
The American Association of Accidents... OK who am I kidding. There is no group, organization, or what have you that I can quote or steal from on this one. Actually there is: the Safety Institute of America.

Men are known for having a Devil-may-care attitude about work, recreation, and general safety so today I am just going to list a bunch of things we should do but often don't:

  • Wear protection (a helmet, safety glasses. gloves, back brace).
  • Use a spotter.
  • Sharpen your blades.
  • Use the right tool.
  • Take it outside.
  • Slow down.
  • Come to a complete stop.
  • Pay attention.
  • Turn it off first.
  • Skip that last drink.
  • Better yet, call a cab.
That's all I got. Peace.

Make Men's Health Month About You

The month of November is (one of the) Men's Health Month(s), popularized by the Movember movement. (June is another recognized annual event but since it is November now, November it is.) It's a great foundation, it has been successful and is highly rated for its impact. But, one thing I see with the movement is that while they speak about men's health to the participants, I feel the participants themselves promote it outwardly rather than inward, at them. I personally fell victim to that selfsame issue, but no longer. As of this November, I am taking care of myself.
