According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), safe workplaces are sound businesses. Every workplace should have a safety and health program that includes management leadership, worker participation, and a systematic approach to finding and fixing hazards. This is what it means to be Safe + Sound.

Safe + Sound Week

OSHA’s Safe + Sound program is a year-round campaign to encourage every workplace to develop and implement a safety and health program. During one week every August (August 11-17, 2025), OSHA promotes Safe + Sound Week as a nationwide event to recognize the successes of workplace health and safety programs and offer information and ideas on how to keep America’s workers safe. This year’s Safe + Sound Week focuses on emergency preparedness and response.

Participating in Safe + Sound Week can help companies get their safety and health program started, energize an existing program, or recognize company and individual employee safety and health accomplishments. It is an ideal time to reflect on and recognize the efforts you have made to improve workplace safety and health throughout the year and to focus in on areas of improvement going forward.
