ATS recognizes that injury prevention is a life-long process. From early childhood through senior years a person must adopt a life-style that recognizes risks of injuries and avoids them through safe behavior.

ATS supports education and action to implement these effective risk-avoiders:

• Wearing bicycle and other sports helmets
  
  
• Preventing driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs
  
  
• Promoting seat-belt use
  
  
• Promoting the obeyance of speed limits, red lights, and other traffic rules
  
  
• Safe storage of fire-arms and ammunition in the home
  
  
• Teaching and promoting child safety
