OSHA’s Safe + Sound Week will be held August 15 – 21, 2022.

Eyes on Safety
At the core of every effective safety and health program is a systematic process for finding and fixing workplace hazards, which includes conducting inspections to identify new or emerging hazards that could lead to injury or illness.

Safety Pays
OSHA would also like to remind everyone about the Safety Pays Program. The Safety Pays Program raises awareness of how occupational injuries and illnesses can impact a company’s profitability. The program features multiple tools, including a tool that produces a report comparing workplace injury/illness rates of your business to your competitors.
