Safe + Sound Week 2022

Join OSHA, NIOSH, CPWR, and many other safety & health organizations for Safe + Sound Week, August 15-21, 2022! 

Safe + Sound Week is a nationwide event held each August that recognizes the successes of workplace health and safety programs and offers information and ideas on how to keep America’s workers safe.

Why Participate?
Successful safety and health programs can proactively identify and manage workplace hazards before they cause injury or illness, improving sustainability and the bottom line. Participating in Safe + Sound Week can help get your program started, energize an existing one, or provide a chance to recognize your safety successes.

Who Participates?
All organizations looking for an opportunity to recognize their commitment to safety are welcome to participate. Last year, more than 5,300 businesses helped to raise awareness about workers’ health and safety!

For more information and ways to participate, visit OSHA’s Safe + Sound website. For construction-specific resources, check out CPWR’s Safe + Sound page.
