Washington — Registration is open for the fifth annual Safe + Sound Week, a national initiative of OSHA, NIOSH and a coalition of safety organizations – including the National Safety Council.
Scheduled for Aug. 9-15, Safe + Sound Week promotes awareness and understanding of workplace safety and health programs, which “can proactively identify and manage workplace hazards before they cause injury or illness, improving sustainability and the bottom line,” OSHA says.
The National Safety Council, Ohio Chapter saves lives by preventing injuries and deaths at work, in homes and communities, and on the roads, through leadership, education and advocacy.
