Safe and Sound Week
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is sponsoring Safe + Sound Week from August 9-15, 2021. This nationwide event raises awareness and understanding of the value of safety and health programs with an emphasis on management leadership, worker participation, and a systematic approach to finding and fixing hazards in the workplace.
By participating in Safe + Sound Week, businesses can proactively identify and manage workplace hazards before they cause injury or illness, improving sustainability and the bottom line.
Safe and Sound Week is also a great time for businesses to get their safety programs started or energize an existing one to:
- Prevent accidents
- Improve compliance with laws and regulations
- Reduce costs, including significant reductions in workers' compensation premiums
- Engage workers
- Enhance social responsibility goals
- Increase productivity and enhance overall business operations
