Are you ready for OSHA’s Safe + Sound Week? Each August, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sponsors a week-long, nationwide event to encourage employers to take a proactive approach to workplace health and safety. This year’s event is scheduled for August 15 to 21, 2022. Last year, more than 5,300 businesses participated.

As OSHA’s Safe + Sound page explains, “successful safety and health programs can proactively identify and manage workplace hazards before they cause injury or illness.” Safe + Sound Week is a time to recognize safety successes, OSHA adds, but it’s also an opportunity to get your program started or energize an existing one with benefits that include a stronger bottom line. 

“Taking a proactive approach to safety is a smart investment in risk management and cost avoidance.” – Jim Testo, EHS Risk Management
