"Safety Starts With Me"
That’s the theme of National Safety Month (June 2013)1. The National Safety Council (NSC) hopes their theme conveys that while leadership from the top is important, successful organizations engage everyone in safety and create a culture where people feel a personal responsibility not only for their own safety, but for that of their coworkers, family and friends.
The weekly themes for the month are
Week 1: Preventing Slips, Trips and Falls 2
Week 2: Employee Wellness3
Week 3: Emergency Preparedness4
Week 4: Ergonomics5
As an employer, you can highlight safety with special activities or materials6. Or you can use this month’s focus as an opportunity to evaluate your current safety programs and plans. Your occupational medicine provider can help with your assessment.
