Mind Your Body
Be Safe at Work
Don’t go underground and pretend a work place injury can’t happen to you. Spinal cord injuries at work happen – things can fall on your back, you can slip, be squashed or pinned down or just by trying to carry items that are too heavy.

What are you really diving into?
Always check the depth of the water you dive into and don’t push people into the water. Approximately 9% of spinal cord injuries are water related. Take Care.

Mind your mates
A spinal cord injury takes an instant, the injury lasts a lifetime. Take care of your mates, don’t push them into something they don’t want to do. Spinal cord injury statistics show 16-24 year olds are at most risk. Think, slow down, be aware, take care of your mates and mind your back.
Don’t Fall for It
Falls can happen anytime, anywhere. Spinal cord injury does not discriminate. You can get an injury from any height – falling off a chair, planking to falling from a balcony. Don’t drop your common sense to be popular.

Keep Your Eye on the Road
Road accidents account for over half of the spinal cord injuries recorded each year. Don’t text and drive, watch your speed and be alert when not only driving, but being a pedestrian or riding your bike.
