Answer to Question 1

Work accident rates in this century are evidence of the success of the safety movement in the United States. As the amount of attention given to workplace safety and health has increased, the accident rate has decreased. According to the National Safety Council,
Between 1912 and 2001, accidental work deaths per 100,000 population were reduced 81 percent, from 21 to 4 . In 1912, an estimated 18,000 to 21,000 workers' lives were lost. In 2001, in a workforce more than triple in size and producing 11 times the goods and services, there were approximately 10,000 work deaths.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
