One Click Does The Trick for Occupant Protection

Double-sided occupant protection safety bookmarks are distributed to libraries throughout our community with buckle up safety tips for drivers and passengers.

Drivers are a primary target of our occupant protection safety messages. The bookmarks remind drivers to “BUCKLE UP!”
They also include safety tips and laws:

ALWAYS make sure you and your passengers are buckle up for every ride!
It’s the single most effective thing you can do to PROTECT EVERYONE in a crash.
Safeguard children in the CORRECT car seat.
Safety belt use isn’t just a good idea, IT’S THE LAW.

We also include some general safety tips for passengers of all ages, especially children to always “RIDE RIGHT!”:

BUCKLE UP for every car ride.
YOUR SAFETY belt should be snug on your upper thights, across your chest, and over your shoulders.
Ride in the BACK SEAT, it’s the safest.
SIT UP STRAIGHT to prevent injuries during a crash.
If you are 5 to 9 years old, weight less than 80 pounds, and are shorter than 4 feet 9 inches, you should ride in a booster or car seat.

No Regrets When You Buckle Up

“Always Buckle Up… For Your Family, For Yourself, for LIFE.”
