Cancer, the Flu, & You

Flu vaccination is especially important for people with cancer or a history of cancer because they are at high risk of developing serious flu complications.

Older Drivers: Stay Safe

In 2018, there were more than 45 million licensed drivers aged 65 and older in the United States. Driving helps older adults stay mobile and independent. But the risk of being injured or killed in a traffic crash increases as people age.

3D Printing Safety at Work

3D printing hazards vary depending on the type of printer and materials used. For example, print materials that are powders are more likely to be inhaled or cause skin problems than others. 3D printers that use lasers have different hazards than printers that use high temperatures to melt materials.
