RESOLUTION
Designating June 2006 as National Safety Month.
Whereas the mission of the National Safety Council is to educate and influence
citizens of the United States to adopt safety, health, and environmental
policies, practices, and procedures that prevent and mitigate human
suffering and economic losses arising from preventable causes;
Whereas the National Safety Council works to protect lives and promote health
with innovative programs;
Whereas the National Safety Council, founded in 1913, is celebrating its 93rd
anniversary in 2006 as the premier source of safety and health
information, education, and training in the United States;
Whereas the National Safety Council was chartered by Congress in 1953, and is
celebrating its 53rd anniversary in 2006 as a congressionally-chartered
organization;
Whereas even with advancements in safety that create a safer environment for the
people of the United States, such as new legislation and improvements in
technology, the unintentional-injury death toll is still unacceptable;
Whereas the National Safety Council has demonstrated leadership in educating
citizens of the United States on how to prevent injuries and deaths to
senior citizens as a result of falls;
Whereas citizens deserve a solution to nationwide safety and health threats;
Whereas such a solution requires the cooperation of all levels of government, as
well as the general public;
Whereas the summer season, traditionally a time of increased unintentional-
injury fatalities, is an appropriate time to focus attention on both the
problem and the solution to such safety and health threats; and
Whereas the theme of ``National Safety Month'' for 2006 is ``Making Our World A
Safer Place'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates June 2006 as ``National Safety Month''; and
(2) recognizes the accomplishments of the National Safety
Council and calls upon the citizens of the United States to
observe the month with appropriate ceremonies and respect.
