As a California employer, you understand the importance of a safe and healthy work environment. Not only does it benefit your employees' well-being, but it also reduces costs associated with workplace injuries and illnesses. June is National Safety Month, and the perfect opportunity to refocus your efforts on workplace safety.

Initiated by the National Safety Council (NSC), the annual observance raises awareness of workplace hazards and aims to prevent injuries. This year's campaign focuses on four key themes: Safety Engagement, Roadway Safety, Risk Reduction, and Slips, Trips & Falls. Use these themes to spark activities or discussions throughout the month. Consider holding safety meetings on relevant topics, organizing training sessions, or conducting risk assessments in your workplace to create a safer and healthier work environment.
