June is National Safety Month

June 3, 2021

The National Safety Council (NSC) dedicates the month of June each year to reminding everyone about ways to remain safe on the job. This year the program celebrates its 25th anniversary and has established four key topics, one for each week of the month.
 
Below, please find the NSC’s overview of each topic:
 
Week 1 – Prevent Incidents Before They Start
Identifying risks and taking proactive safety measures to reduce hazard exposure on important topics from ergonomics to chemical management is crucial to creating a safe workplace.
 
Week 2 – Address Ongoing COVID-19 Safety Concerns
As the pandemic looms on, employers play an important role in the return to physical workspaces, building trust around vaccines, mental health and so much more.
 
Week 3 – It’s Vital to Feel Safe on the Job
Being able to be one’s self at work without fear of retaliation is necessary for an inclusive safety culture. Leading organizations focus not only on physical safety, but psychological safety as well.
 
Week 4 – Advance Your Safety Journey
Safety is all about continuous improvement. Whether organizationally or individually, NSC can help provide guidance for your path forward.
 
NSC members will automatically receive materials to use each week, and non-members can access the materials for free by signing up here.
