June is National Safety Month
Safety is Important . . . but June is About Greater Awareness
June is National Safety Month when broad topics of workplace safety get greater attention and focus. The National Safety Council (NSC), coordinated in conjunction with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) selects specific safety themes for each week of the month.
Here Are Key Safety Measures for Each Week
- Week #1: Emergency preparedness and response
- Week #2: Slips, trips, and falls
- Week #3: Heat-related illness
- Week #4: Hazard recognition
All workers can show their dedication to safety by taking the National Safety Council’s SafeAtWork pledge and committing to safety by:
- Actively help my employer improve our safety programs
- Reporting hazards promptly and suggest solutions
- Being a safety role model for my friends and family, even off the job
Take the pledge today!
