Help Your Members Start the New Year Off Safely with These Resources

Happy New Year!  We’re excited to work with all of you to promote safety and health programs in 2018.  Here’s the first of our monthly messages highlighting new resources that you can share with your network.  You can get in touch with us at safeandsoundcampaign@dol.gov if you have any questions.

The new year is a good time to resolve to keep your workplace safe and sound by establishing and maintaining an effective safety and health program. The Safe + Sound Campaign can help your business take a step in the right direction no matter where you are on the road to developing a program. During the year, the Safe + Sound Campaign will support your efforts through periodic safety and health program messaging and communications; free webinars; resources from campaign organizers; and local events to support safety and health program development. 

Get started today with these OSHA resources:

• 10 Easy Things to Get Your Program Started, a list of steps to consider as you begin developing a new safety and health program or energize an existing one.
• That Was No Accident! Using Your OSHA 300 Log to Improve Safety and Health. The document shows how managers can review past safety and health records to find and fix workplace hazards before they become injuries or illnesses. Download this one-pager to see how looking back at past incidents can move your safety and health program forward in the future.

The Safe + Sound Campaign is organized by: OSHA; the American Industrial Hygiene Association; the American Society of Safety Engineers; the Center for Construction Research and Training; the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health; the National Safety Council; and the Voluntary Protection Program Participants’ Association.
