Safe + Sound Week is an annual, nationwide event in August that highlights the importance of workplace health and safety. Organized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), this week serves as a platform to recognize the successes of workplace safety programs and offers valuable resources to help keep America’s workers safe. This year, Safe + Sound Week will focus on providing businesses with resources for Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), a critical tool for identifying and mitigating workplace risks.
One way MedPhysicals Plus can help with occupational safety and this JHA is through personal protective equipment (PPE) testing, such as mask-fit or physical ability testing. Remember, PPE is not limited to masks and may include clothing, shoes, glasses, and so on. For mask-fit in Anchorage, Wasilla, and Fairbanks, give us a call at (907) 561-7587 to learn more.
Why Safe + Sound Week Matters
Safe + Sound Week is more than just a time to reflect on past achievements; it’s an opportunity for businesses to take proactive steps toward improving workplace safety and health. Implementing a safety and health program can enhance your business’s safety performance, reduce costs, and improve competitiveness. Whether you’re in Alaska or elsewhere, this week is a great time to assess and strengthen your workplace safety practices.
Remember, preventive screenings such as DOT physicals, drug testing, and other occupational health services MedPhysicals Plus offers contribute to a safer workplace by ensuring employees are fit for duty.
