ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL, Ill. -- On a day when mild, sunny weather finally made an appearance in the Midwest, Rock Island Arsenal hosted an event designed to raise awareness of health and safety issues related to warm weather months.
The first RIA Spring / Summer Safety and Wellness Awareness Day was held here April 14. The event was coordinated by the RIA Community Health Promotion Council, a forum of senior leaders, subject matter experts and community representatives formed to discuss health issues and develop actions intended to improve the overall health of RIA personnel and their families.
RIA Spring / Summer Safety and Wellness Awareness Day featured displays on topics such as heath injury prevention; severe weather preparedness; motorcycle safety; prevention of sexual harassment and assault; domestic violence prevention; Master Resiliency Training; and local Red Cross Services.
The Rock Island District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers provided information and hand-outs on water safety, and the local U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Detachment displayed a rescue boat.
Hands-on demonstrations included fire extinguisher training provided by the RIA Fire Department, and the Simulated Impaired Driving Experience, a go-cart that mimics the effects of driving under the influence through a hand-held controller.
