View or download our helpful checklist to do a quick evaluation of your work space, equipment and safety practices. Ten minutes can make all the difference! You've Been Caught... Working Safely! Look for EHS representatives around campus next week (Aug. 12-16) as we hand out “You’ve Been Caught” cards to employees demonstrating good workplace safety practices.

What is Safe + Sound Week? Safe + Sound Week is an initiative of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The nationwide event raises awareness and understanding of the value of safety and health programs in the workplace. The focus of the week is on three core principles.

Find and Fix Hazards At the core of every effective safety and health program is a systematic process for identifying and controlling (i.e., finding and fixing) workplace hazards.

Management Leadership Management leadership means there is a commitment from the top to implementing a program and using it to drive continuous improvement in safety and health.

Worker Participation Effective safety and health programs tap into workers' collective experience, knowledge, and insight in order to find solutions to workplace safety and health challenges.
