National Safety Month Overview

Everyone faces hazards and potential dangers in their lives. Whether you face them while working at your job or in your personal life, there is always a risk of injury. HB NEXT understands that safety is a top priority which is why we are raising awareness for National Safety Month. June is the National Safety Council’s(NSC) National Safety Month. The goal of National Safety Month is to try and reduce injuries and fatalities caused by some of the less focused on hazards. Over the duration of June, the NSC will put special emphasis on one safety topic each week. The order for this year goes as follows:

Week 1: Mental Health

Week 2: Ergonomics

Week 3: Building a Safety Culture

Week 4: Driving

Free Materials 

The NSC provides free public materials about each topic such as posters, articles, social media graphics, and more. They also provide additional 5 Minute Safety Talks for their members. The NSC raises money for the National Safety Council SAFER effort, which aims to address the safety needs of the Nation’s workforce now and in a post-pandemic environment. 100% of all donations from now to June 30 go to the SAFER effort and the NSC will match up to $25,000 worth of donations.
