June Is National Safety Month!

Now, more than ever, safety is crucial both inside and outside the workplace, which is why the National Safety Council (NSC) is recognizing National Safety Month® in June despite the pandemic crisis.

Observed annually by NSC, the nation’s leading nonprofit safety advocate, National Safety Month focuses on saving lives and preventing injuries, from the workplace to anyplace. The NSC offers many tips on how to stay safe and how to manage safety during these challenging times.
