  12. Discussing Traffic Safety • How has fatigue affected you on the road? • How does taking short breaks fight fatigue? • What is the craziest thing you’ve seen other drivers or motorcycle riders do? What did or could have gone wrong?

  13. Fighting Fatigue • Start every trip well-rested. • Drive during daylight hours. • Schedule breaks every two hours. • Never drink and drive. • Pull over if you get tired.

  14. Use TRiPS for Your Trip • TRiPS = Travel Risk Planning System • Easy, online survey that helps you recognize and reduce travel risks • Supervisory involvement is key Access TRiPS at https://trips.safety.army.mil/navy/login.aspx

  15. Profile of a Dead Rider • Sober during the day • Speeding • Failed to identify hazards • On a sport bike • First year of riding • Incomplete training • Under age 26 Didn’t know limitations

  16. Defensive Riding • More riders being hit by cars • Not just visibility– traffic position and awareness are critical • Riders must protect a clear path of travel • Drivers must reduce in-vehicle distractions • Drivers must be more aware of motorcycles, pedestrians and bicycles

  17. Manage Risks Off-Duty, Too • Risk management isn’t just for work • Plan for the worst case • Have a sound plan, follow it, and adjust when new risks arise … or maybe you didn’t really need that refrigerator after all.

  18. Walk the Walk • Don’t take shortcuts • Don’t get in a hurry • If junior people see you doing something wrong, they figure it is OK

  19. Buddy System • Two heads aren’t better than one if one of them is a bonehead • Choose your buddies carefully • Don’t hesitate to speak up

  20. Grilling • Keep your grill at least three feet away from structures and trees. • Use starter fluid that is made for especially for barbecue grills. Follow the instructions. • If you have a gas grill, make sure you know how to use and store it. • Make sure the valves work and that you are familiar with their purpose. Note: These Sailors are doing it wrong.

  21. Firearms • Teach children not to touch guns. • Treat every gun as if it were loaded. Assume nothing and always check. • While target shooting, know your target and what is beyond it. • Always point a firearm down and in a safe direction, never at people. • Store guns unloaded. Keep ammo in a separate place and locked up.

  22. Avoiding the “Glub-Glub!” Chance of Drowning in a Boating Mishap Wearing Life Preserver Not Wearing Life Preserver 1 in 66 1 in 11 U.S. Boat Owners Who Say They Are “Very Experienced” 63.4% 56.9% Boating Accidents Due to Operator Error, Poor Judgment, Inexperience

  23. On the Water • Learn to swim • Swim where lifeguards are present • Keep a close eye on kids • Obey signs about water conditions • Know your limits

  24. Rip Currents • Don’t panic. • Swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current. • Rough undertow is dangerous as well

  25. ATVs and Off-Road Motorcycling • 130 injuries 2005-2012 • Inexperience and complacency most common causal factors • Do some careful recon before you ride at speed

  26. Alcohol Awareness • Every day, 30 people in the US die in wrecks involving a drunk driver. • Drunk drivers cause about one-third of all traffic-related deaths in the United States. • For drivers with BAC levels > 0.08 % involved in fatal crashes, more than 1/3 are between 21 and 24 years of age. • 60% of STDs are transmitted by drunk partners.

  27. Preventing Sexual Assault: For Victims, It’s a Safety Issue • Directly approach potential problems and express concern • Involve friends, witnesses and authorities • Distract the predator and remove the potential victim • Don’t leave potential victims alone

  28. Discussing SAPR • What would you do if you witnessed a shipmate being harassed or assaulted? • What resources are available for victims? • Can men be victims? • How can you help?

  29. Suicide Warning Signs • Expressing suicidal thoughts • Increased drug and/or alcohol use • Withdrawal from friends and family • Recklessness • ACT: Ask, Care, Treat For resources, visit www.suicide.navy.mil
