The Safe + Sound Campaign aims to support companies in improving safety and health in your workplace in 2018. The effort encourages every workplace in the United States to have a safety and health program that includes management leadership, worker participation, and a proactive approach to finding and fixing hazards. No matter where you are on the road to developing a program in your workplace, it’s easy to take a step in the right direction. During the year, the Safe + Sound Campaign will support employer efforts through periodic safety and health program messaging and communications; live, publicly available, no-cost webinars; access to content from Campaign organizers (CPWR, AIHA, ASSE, OSHA, NIOSH, NSC, and VPPPA); and local events to create communities to support safety and health program development.  The focal point of the Campaign, Safe + Sound Week, will be held Aug. 13-19, 2018.

Here are a couple items that can help you get started today:
