Each year, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recognizes Safe + Sound Week—a call to action for improving workplace safety and health. This year, Safe + Sound Week will focus on Job Hazard Analysis, a crucial aspect of safety that involves identifying and managing potential workplace hazards before they cause injury or illness. Successful safety and health programs improve sustainability and boost the bottom line by staying ahead of potential risks.

Participating in Safe + Sound Week can help you get your safety program started, revitalize an existing one, or offer an opportunity to acknowledge your safety accomplishments. Every workplace should have a comprehensive safety and health program that includes management leadership, worker participation, and a systematic approach to identifying and mitigating hazards. Whether you have a well-developed program or are just getting started, look for ways to be Safe + Sound at work.

Exploring the wealth of Safe + Sound resources can provide your organization with the tools and knowledge needed to enhance workplace safety effectively.
