THE NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL (NSC) INTRODUCED NATIONAL SAFETY MONTH BACK IN 1996 TO PROMOTE SAFE BEHAVIORS TO HELP PREVENT INJURIES AND DEATHS AT WORK, ON THE ROADS, AND AT HOME.
BOTH FATAL WORK INJURIES AND ROADWAY DEATHS ARE ON THE RISE, WHICH MEANS PROMOTING SAFETY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS THE NSC HIGHLIGHTS IS THAT SAFETY IS A 24/7 SUBJECT. WE SHOULDN’T STOP PRACTICING SAFE BEHAVIORS ONCE THE CLOCK STRIKES 5 PM.
EVERY YEAR, THE NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL PROMOTES FOUR TOPICS THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF JUNE. HERE ARE THE SAFETY TIPS FOR 2021.
PREVENT INCIDENTS BEFORE THEY OCCUR
IN ORDER TO CREATE A SAFE WORKPLACE, IT’S IMPORTANT TO IDENTIFY RISKS AND TAKE PROACTIVE SAFETY MEASURES TO REDUCE HAZARD EXPOSURE ON IMPORTANT TOPICS FROM ERGONOMICS TO CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT.
ADDRESS ONGOING COVID-19 SAFETY CONCERNS
THE PANDEMIC IS STILL PRESENT IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES. AS IT CONTINUES, EMPLOYERS HAVE AN IMPORTANT TASK AHEAD OF THEM, EXPANDING OPERATIONS AND RETURNING REMOTE WORKERS TO PHYSICAL WORKSPACES, BUILDING TRUST AROUND VACCINES, SUPPORTING MENTAL HEALTH, AND SO MUCH MORE.
FEELING SAFE ON THE JOB
PHYSICAL SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT, HOWEVER, THE IMPORTANCE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY IS BECOMING MORE CRITICAL. EVERY PERSON SHOULD FEEL SAFE WHILE THEY’RE AT WORK AND FEEL WELCOMED INTO AN INCLUSIVE CULTURE.
ADVANCE YOUR SAFETY JOURNEY
SAFETY IS ALL ABOUT CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING MORE YOU CAN BE DOING TO KEEP YOURSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE SAFE. WHETHER AS AN ORGANIZATION OR AN INDIVIDUAL, THE NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL CAN HELP PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO CREATING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.
