Okla. Stat. tit. 25, § 25-90.14: Injury Prevention Month

May of each year is hereby established as "Injury Prevention

Month”. Recognizing that injuries are the third leading cause of

death in Oklahoma, and are the leading cause of death for persons

between the ages of one (1) and forty-four (44), that many injuries

are preventable, that the number of injuries can be substantially

reduced through the use of proven, cost-effective injury prevention

approaches and that these approaches should be promoted through

public information and education:

1. The Governor shall annually issue a proclamation encouraging

the widespread dissemination of injury prevention information; and

2. All state agencies, businesses, and interested organizations

should take the opportunity to provide their employees and members

with injury prevention information during Injury Prevention Month.
