Fifty-five percent of those killed in traffic crashes across America during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend last year were not wearing their seat belts at the time of the crash.

The heavily-traveled Thanksgiving weekend is one of the most dangerous and deadliest times of the year due to low seat belt use. Although a record 82 percent of Americans now wear their seat belts, too many people still do not.

Please remind your employees to "Tighten Your Belt Before and After Thanksgiving Dinner.” Forward by email or print and distribute the below linked flyer and fact sheet to employees before they hit the road this holiday.
