November 5-11, 2023 is

Drowsy Driving Prevention Week

As we enter the heating season and winter, we believe it's the perfect time to highlight the National Sleep Foundation's Drowsy Driving Prevention Week® this week. This initiative encourages everyone to prioritize sleep and only drive when they are alert and refreshed.


Their goal is to help people get the sleep they need and reduce the number of drivers who choose to drive while sleep-deprived.


Now, before things pick up any further during the busy season, is the perfect time to share resources with drivers and even hold 10-15-minute safety meetings with drivers.


The below safety meeting was developed by the National Safety Council for employers.

November is Carbon Monoxide Awareness Month

In the spirit of promoting safety and awareness, November is officially recognized as Carbon Monoxide Awareness Month, and the Texas Propane Gas Association has resources for members. To help your customers stay informed, our association's store, Propane Service Corporation, offers a Carbon Monoxide Brochure. This full-color, 3 x 7, quad-fold brochure is an essential tool for educating consumers on what to do if they suspect the presence of CO. Packed with valuable information, it provides insights into reducing the risks of CO poisoning, the significance of CO detectors in enhancing safety, and how to identify signs of improper appliance operation that can lead to high CO levels. Each pack contains 125 brochures.


Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity and equip yourself with the knowledge and tools necessary to educate your customers on carbon monoxide during the heating season.
