Participate in Safe + Sound Week 2024: August 12-18

All organizations looking for an opportunity to recognize their commitment to safety are welcome to participate. Last year, more than 3,900 businesses helped to raise awareness about workers’ health and safety! 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. This year for Safe + Sound Week OSHA will be providing resources for businesses on Job Hazard Analysis (JHA). 

OSHA is providing many ways to participate in Safe + Sound Week including several Core Element challenges this year. The challenges are grouped into Management Leadership Challenges, Worker Participation Challenges, and Find & Fix Hazards Challenges.
