Join the National Safety Council (NSC) and organizations across the country by raising safety awareness during National Safety Month. Observed annually in June, National Safety Month focuses on reducing leading causes of injury and death at work, on the road and in our homes and communities.
Given the current state of the world, National Safety Month will look a little different than past years. Instead of focusing on a single topic each week, the National Safety Council will provide real-time, relevant resources on a variety of topics for keeping workers safe in our new normal.

The NSC Wellness Plus program is designed to not only focus on the absence of illness but the total wellbeing of employees. The program strives to encompass emotional, social and intellectual health as well as physical health, healthy behavior and supportive environments at work and home.
Every organization, regardless of industry, is encouraged to participate in National Safety Month. Ideas for workplace activities include:
Another way to participate in National Safety Month is to add regular safety meetings to your company or organization’s safety and health program.
