June is National Safety Month

This year, National Safety Month is "Celebrating Safe Communities." A safe community comes together to promote safe and healthy behaviors that protect people from hurt and harm in all aspects of their lives.

Workplace injuries are on the decline, but the number of unintentional injuries incurred off-the-job continues to rise. Since a person inhabits many different communities throughout the day – work, home and every stop in-between – the National Safety Council encourages businesses and individuals to take advantage of the safety education we provide, and reduce the risk of unintentional injury and death in everyday life.

Please check back with us frequently, as we add posters, safety risk & tip sheets, and injury prevention information to this web site. Our goal is to make businesses, homes, and all the places and roads in between safer for all of us.

To assist in your planning, each week of National Safety Month has a specific focus.

• June 4-8: Workplace safety
• June 11-15: Driving safety
• June 18-22: Emergency Preparedness
• June 25-29: Safety in the Home and Community
