Wake up… it’s Dahlson Safety Sunday time! The National Sleep Foundation is celebrating its annual Sleep Awareness Week March 6th through March 13th, to raise awareness for the health benefits of sleep and its importance to safety and productivity. Leave a tip or experience you've had about this topic below for your chance to win $50!

Fatigue is a state of being tired. It can be caused by long hours of work, long hours of physical or mental activity, inadequate rest, excessive stress, and combinations of these factors. Although signs of fatigue vary from worker to worker, typical physical signs and symptoms include tiredness, irritability, giddiness, and depression.

Research indicates that on average, workers require 7.5 to 8.5 hours of sleep per day. Workers obtaining less than their required amount of sleep develop a sleep debt that is cumulative. It is not possible to store sleep. Although difficult to measure, fatigue has been identified as having played a significant role in many workplace mistakes and accidents.

February 1st to 7th is Burn Prevention Week, so for this Safety Sunday were going to be talking about burn safety tips! Leave a tip or experience you've had about this topic below for your chance to win $50!

Burns are among the most common work and household injuries, especially in children. The term “burn” means more than the burning sensation associated with this injury. Burns are characterized by severe skin damage in which many of the affected cells die. Depending on the cause and degree of injury, most people can recover from burns without serious health consequences. More serious burns require immediate emergency medical care to prevent complications and death.

Burns have a variety of causes, including:

- scalding from hot, boiling liquids
- chemical burns
- electrical burns
- fires, including flames from matches, candles, and lighters
- excessive sun exposure

Congratulations Zahra Premji! You've won December's $50 VISA gift card from Dahlson Industries for entering our Safety Sunday contest and providing this "Winter Fire Prevention" tip/story:

"We make sure space heaters are only on when someone is in the room rather than on all the time. For a quick fix to keep warm while the room is heating up, use a magic bag or a hot water bottle. This will prevent the need for leaving the heaters on all the time when no one is around."
