We believe unsafe injections are preventable, and we have the power to protect.
SAFE IN COMMON is a community of healthcare workers, educators, patients, and community leaders who share one desire…a world where every injection is both simple and safe. Launching in September 2010, SAFE IN COMMON will feature blogs, a resource library, links to industry information, forums to express your thoughts and experiences, surveys, and other ways to interact and promote injection safety.
