Sponsored by OSHA, Safe + Sound Week is a nationwide event to raise awareness and understanding of the value of safety and health programs that include management leaderships, worker participation, and a systematic approach to finding and fixing hazards in the workplace.

OSHA reminds employers that occupational health and safety promotes more job satisfaction and less worker turnover. According to OSHA, “Safe workplaces are sound businesses. Successful safety and health programs can proactively identify and manage workplace hazards before they cause injury or illness, improving sustainability and the bottom line. Participating in Safe + Sound Week can help get your program started or energize an existing one.”

OSHA encourages organizations of any size and in any industry to participate in the inaugural Safe + Sound event, to promote health and safety excellence.
