Observed annually in June, National Safety Month focuses on reducing the leading causes of injury and death in the workplace and at home.

Week 2: Recharge to Be in Charge - Fatigue and worker safety

Week 3: Prepare for Active Shooters - Workplace violence and prevention

Week 4: Don't Just Sit There - Office worker ergonomics

OSHA also sponsors Safe+Sound Week June 12-18 addressing hazards in the workplace.
