OSHA’s Safe + Sound Week: Aug. 11-17

Emergencies can happen anywhere, any time—but being prepared to respond can make all the difference to protecting your business, your employees, the public and the environment. 

To proactively address workplace hazards, OSHA teams up with businesses across the country each August to promote Safe + Sound Week. 

It’s an annual opportunity to recognize workplace safety and health program successes, and way to offer information and ideas on how to keep America’s workers safe. 

This year, Safe + Sound Week runs from Aug. 11-17 and focuses on emergency preparedness and response.  

Businesses, however, can pick any week during the year to hold their Safe + Sound events and activities.  

Resources 

Among the many resources available are graphics and logos, social media templates, photos, presentations, virtual meeting backgrounds, quizzes, customizable print material and other interactive activity ideas.   

Last year, more than 5,000 business nationwide participated in Safe + Sound Week.
