National Safety Month
June is National Safety Month!
The National Safety Counsel has a mission to eliminate preventable deaths at work, in homes, in communities, and on the road. They do this through leadership, research, education and advocacy.
Observed annually in June, National Safety Month focuses on reducing the leading causes of injury and death at work, on the road, and in our homes and communities. Each week, a different topic is highlighted and shared for everyone to learn about. This year, the topics include: Hazard Recognition Slips, Trips and Falls, Fatigue and Impairment.
- Week 1: Hazard Recognition
- Week 2: Slips, Trips and Falls
- Week 3: Fatigue
- Week 4: Impairment
