Prioritizing Safety. Preventing Injuries. Saving Lives.

Each June, we join the National Safety Council in observing National Safety Month – a time to focus on prioritizing safety in the workplace and beyond. This month-long campaign raises awareness about leading causes of preventable injuries and death.

Why Safety Matters

Accidents are often preventable. Whether it’s reducing workplace hazards, promoting mental well-being, or encouraging safe driving, every step we take toward safety makes a difference. National Safety Month is an opportunity to highlight key safety issues and empower individuals to take proactive measures—at home, at work, and in the community.

  4. Social Media Kit: Help spread the word with ready-to-use social media posts and images from our digital social media kit, which makes it easy to share posts and images on your Facebook, LinkedIn, X and Instagram accounts. Use the hashtag #NSM in all your posts.
  5. Show Your Safety Pride! Choose a day or week to showcase your safety pride with our Go Green for Safety campaign. Encourage your team to wear green – the universal color of safety – and hold up our printable #GoGreenforSafety sign. Capture photos and videos to share in your communications and on social media.
  6. Take the SafeAtWork Pledge. Workplace fatalities are unacceptable and safety is everyone’s responsibility. Doing your part today can help save a life tomorrow – maybe even your own. Take the NSC SafeAtWork Pledge, and commit to:

    • Actively help my employer improve our safety programs
    • Report hazards promptly and suggest solutions
    • Be a good safety role model for my friends and family, even off the job

    Share the pledge with your co-workers, family and friends, place it on your company’s intranet site or in a company newsletter, and post about it on your social media channels and challenge your peers to follow your lead.

  1. The Connection between Wellbeing and Safety: A comprehensive approach to workplace safety must consider the underlying causes leading to or contributing to injuries that may not be visible to the human eye. This is the focus of workplace wellbeing, an expansive topic area considering the impact of many wellbeing-related risks to workplace safety and health, from fatigue and psychological safety to substance use and mental health. Check out this blog post to learn more and use the resources below to address wellbeing-related risks in your organization.
