How To Observe National
Safety Month 2022
The National Safety Council (NSC) observes National Safety Month every year in June. As a non-profit organization, NSC and its panel of experts play a crucial role in helping companies establish strategies to safeguard people in their workplaces. The NSC also provides valuable resources, promotional materials, and research-backed toolkits to foster a mindset of putting safety first. Safety is an important subject that residential and commercial sectors can instill with training and education. In the following sections, we discuss how employers can participate in National Safety Month 2022, create a safety-first culture, and mitigate risks in the workplace. How To Practice National Safety Month 2022
National Safety Month is an opportunity for employers and employees to educate themselves on workplace safety. It aspires to help companies identify safety concerns so they can mitigate hazardous situations. Each year, the organization chooses to focus on different important aspects of workplace safety that can help safeguard workforce employees and assets.
Week 1 Musculoskeletal Disorders and Ergonomics Addresses work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) that exacerbate or cause damage to the nerves, tendons, cartilage, spinal discs, joints, and muscles. Week 2 Mental Health Factors such as stress, substance abuse, fatigue, and burnout can severely impair one’s ability to perform reliably on the job. Week 3 Workplace Injuries Workers who perform physical labor under hazardous working conditions need to be educated on critical workplace safety. Physical injuries and even death can be avoided by actively addressing recurrent concerns. Week 4 Falls and Slips It’s crucial to incorporate fall safety tips for the workplace to safeguard employees from fatal injuries and even death. Implementing safety protocols in the workplace can play an important role in educating employees on workplace safety.
How Companies Can Minimize Risk
Work with management to identify roles that involve significant physical strain. Thereafter, conduct an in-depth employee survey before appropriate mechanical, administrative, and ergonomic safety measures can be implemented to improve working conditions. Educate management and employees on how to identify impairment of all kinds and help individuals address and overcome their inability to work comfortably on the job. Implementing mental wellness activities, workshops, programs, and camps will help address employee welfare concerns. Management needs to strengthen safety measures for workers on the job by assessing workplace hazards and educating employees on how to conduct safety protocols efficiently while identifying persistent and new issues. For instance, subjects like forklift safety in the workplace can prevent accidents and injuries on the job. Management needs to actively address concerns and formulate solutions when employees report safety hazards in the workplace. This is a way of making their health and safety a priority. Doing so will benefit day-to-day operations, productivity, and establish trust between employers and employees.
